[Osteoangiography in early diagnosis of acute hematogenic osteomyelitis of the long tubular bones in children].

33% cardiotrast of 70% verographin were used for the vessels contrasting. Osteoangiography was carried out in 61 cases suspected for acute hematogenic osteomyelitis (AHO). The age of patients ranged from 2 to 5 years. The diagnosis was proved in 53 cases. In 8 children osteoangiography permitted to cancel the diagnosis of AHO, which was proved later by subsequent clinical observations.
