Over the last decade, the role of nuclear medicine studies in the diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis has been discussed in depth in the literature. Yet, the respective roles played in this setting by each of the commonly used radionuclide studies often are confusing. In an attempt to develop a cogent diagnostic strategy, we reviewed the literature published within the last 12 years pertaining to the use of radiophosphate bone scintigraphy as well as gallium and indium WBC imaging in the diagnosis of this condition. Based on our findings, we propose an alternative approach to the evaluation of a patient with suspected acute osteomyelitis.
在过去十年中，核医学检查在急性骨髓炎诊断中的作用已在文献中得到深入讨论。然而，在这种情况下，每种常用放射性核素检查所发挥的各自作用常常令人困惑。为了制定一个有说服力的诊断策略，我们回顾了过去12年发表的有关使用放射性磷酸盐骨闪烁显像以及镓和铟白细胞显像诊断这种疾病的文献。基于我们的研究结果，我们提出了一种评估疑似急性骨髓炎患者的替代方法。
