Magnetic resonance (MR) at 1.5 T was used preoperatively and prior to aspiration to determine extent and location of infection in eight patients with chronic osteomyelitis. There was excellent correlation between MR and surgical findings in all cases. Infected areas, both intraosseous and extraosseous, displayed increased signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Sequestra, sinus tracts, and soft tissue abscesses were seen. By directly imaging foci of infection MR may have certain advantages over CT and scintigraphy in the evaluation of chronic osteomyelitis.
1.5T磁共振成像（MR）在术前及穿刺抽吸前用于确定8例慢性骨髓炎患者感染的范围和位置。所有病例中MR与手术结果均具有良好的相关性。在T2加权图像上，骨内和骨外的感染区域均显示信号强度增加。可见死骨、窦道和软组织脓肿。通过直接对感染灶进行成像，在评估慢性骨髓炎方面，MR可能比CT和闪烁扫描具有某些优势。
