Abstract
Abstract: Osteomyelitisis infection and inflammation of the bone and bone marrow. The objectives are to study the prevalence of osteomyelitis in different age groups, to evaluate the X-ray, CT scan & MR imaging spectrum of osteomyelitis &to evaluate current role of CT &MRI modalities in the cases of osteomyelitis. We have reviewed X-rays, CT scans & MRI of all the patients diagnosed as osteomyelitis from Aug.15 to Feb.16 (50 patients) in our tertiary care centre; out of the 50 cases highest number of cases found of age group between 11-20yrs, male predominance& disco-vertebral involvement is more common. Sensitivity of MR imaging is 100% &of X-ray &CT scan is upto max. 92%.Radiological imaging techniques play a key role in early diagnosis, treatment & follow up of the cases of osteomyelitis from which MR imaging is the most sensitive and specific modality& modality of choice nowadays. Keywords: Osteomyelitis, OM, Spondylodiscitis, CT &MRI in OM.
