The use and reporting of ultrasound for the evaluation of pediatric osteomyelitis is minimal. However, ultrasound is noninvasive and does not employ ionizing radiation, and it is less expensive than other methods available. Consequently, its application, if contributory, would be desirable in evaluating pediatric osteomyelitis. We examined five patients ranging from 2-weeks to ten-years-old with ultrasound after bony abnormalities were found on plain film. In all cases ultrasound was valuable in assessing the type and location of abnormality (4 cases of osteomyelitis, 1 case of discitis), but unhelpful in determining the age of disease.
超声在小儿骨髓炎评估中的应用及报告极少。然而，超声是非侵入性的，不使用电离辐射，且比其他可用方法成本更低。因此，如果有帮助的话，其在小儿骨髓炎评估中的应用将是可取的。在X线平片发现骨质异常后，我们对5例年龄从2周大到10岁的患儿进行了超声检查。在所有病例中，超声在评估异常的类型和位置方面很有价值（4例骨髓炎，1例椎间盘炎），但在确定疾病病程方面没有帮助。
