Abstract:
The continued increase in demand for diagnosis and monitoring of infectious bone diseases, along with the introduction of new equipment, radiopharmaceuticals, and techniques for this purpose, has made it necessary to dynamically update the existing protocols and recommendations. Therefore, the MSP-WG conducted a survey for spanish hospitals to complete and develop recommendations in the form of algorithms, in an attempt to combine existing scientific evidence with the reality of national clinical practice.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
