Osteomyelitis and inflammatory arthritis affect many children. In this article, the authors describe clinical, pathophysiologic, and imaging characteristics of common (and a few not-so-common) conditions in these categories. Emphasis is placed on MR imaging characteristics, but the article discusses other imaging modalities and clinical evaluation when appropriate. Having a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology and imaging characteristics of these disease processes helps us choose the best radiologic study to answer the clinical questions.
骨髓炎和炎性关节炎影响着许多儿童。在本文中,作者描述了这些类别中常见(以及一些不太常见)病症的临床、病理生理和影像学特征。重点在于磁共振成像(MR)特征,但本文也会在适当的时候讨论其他成像方式和临床评估。全面了解这些疾病过程的病理生理和影像学特征有助于我们选择最佳的影像学检查来回答临床问题。
