Advancements in methods of imaging infection have surpassed their worth. Although scientifically substantiated, their clinical pertinence is frequently disappointing. Diabetic infections, postoperative or traumatic sequelae, rheumatologic conditions, and Charcot disease are difficult to differentiate from osseous infection because they all manifest as inflammation. As this country struggles to contain health care costs, a critical investigation regarding the practical benefits of imaging osteomyelitis in the foot is overdue.
感染成像方法的进步已超过了其价值。尽管有科学依据，但它们的临床相关性常常令人失望。糖尿病感染、术后或创伤后遗症、风湿性疾病和夏科氏病很难与骨感染区分开来，因为它们都表现为炎症。在这个国家努力控制医疗成本之际，早就应该对足部骨髓炎成像的实际益处进行批判性研究了。
