Summary
Ultrasound imaging can visualize bone changes in chronic osteomyelitis, despite bone
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Orthopedics
- Radiology
Background:
- Ultrasound is a common imaging technique, but bone's properties typically hinder its use due to sound wave reflection.
- Despite limitations, ultrasound can image the periosteum, early bone formation, and soft tissue changes adjacent to bone.
- Diagnosing osteomyelitis commonly involves radiography, nuclear medicine, computed tomography, and increasingly, magnetic resonance imaging.
