Imagers are consulted to confirm the presence of acute osteomyelitis, to evaluate disease activity and chronic osteomyelitis, and to confirm the presence of a sequestrum in active chronic osteomyelitis. Scintigraphy remains the most sensitive and specific modality for the diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis and the evaluation of activity of chronic osteomyelitis. Computed tomography is the best examination for the confirmation of the presence of sequestra. In this article, the authors review the various radionuclide techniques, their applications in the different clinical settings, and the way in which they correlate with other imaging techniques.
需咨询影像科医生以确认急性骨髓炎的存在、评估疾病活动度和慢性骨髓炎，并确认活动性慢性骨髓炎中死骨的存在。骨闪烁显像仍然是诊断急性骨髓炎和评估慢性骨髓炎活动度最敏感和特异的检查方法。计算机断层扫描是确认死骨存在的最佳检查。在本文中，作者回顾了各种放射性核素技术、它们在不同临床情况下的应用以及它们与其他成像技术的关联方式。
