Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the actual gold standard for the radiological diagnosis of diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO). MRI is not always available and many patients have contraindications. We evaluated the clinical value of 99mTc-antigranulocyte SPECT/CT (AGS) in eight DFO patients who underwent MRI before. The goal was to have a better clinical view on the extent of bone infection and to ameliorate the surgical approach for DFO. However, this additional scintigraphy did not change anything in the clinical approach. We shared our experience with AGS for clinical management of complex DFO cases.
