To give an up-to-date overview of the strengths and weaknesses of current imaging modalities in diagnosis and follow-up of skull base osteomyelitis (SBO).
CT and MRI are both used for anatomical imaging, and nuclear techniques aid in functional process imaging. Hybrid techniques PET-CT and PET-MRI are the newest modalities which combine imaging strengths.
No single modality is able to address the scope of SBO. A combination of functional and anatomical imaging is needed, in the case of newly suspected SBO we suggest the use of PET-MRI (T1, T2, T1-FS-GADO, DWI) and separate HRCT for diagnosis and follow-up.
对当前成像方式在颅底骨髓炎(SBO)诊断及随访中的优缺点进行最新概述。
CT和MRI均用于解剖成像,核技术有助于功能过程成像。PET-CT和PET-MRI等混合技术是结合了成像优势的最新方式。
没有单一的成像方式能够全面解决SBO的问题。需要功能成像和解剖成像相结合,对于新怀疑的SBO病例,我们建议使用PET-MRI(T1、T2、T1-FS-GADO、DWI)和单独的高分辨率CT进行诊断和随访。
