Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Despite the fact that acute hematogenous osteomyelitis is classified as a sufficiently studied disease, the percentage of diagnostic errors is still quite high. Timely diagnosis is crucial for the successful outcome of the disease, therefore, visualization should be aimed at early diagnosis and, as a result, successful treatment of the disease.OBJECTIVE: To identify early patterns in the intramedullary phase of the course of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (CSO) with a multimodal approach of radiation research methods.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty patients underwent a comprehensive examination, including multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) using color mapping techniques.RESULTS: In the intramedullary phase of the course of CSF, no pathological changes were detected during X-ray examination of the affected limb. Ultrasound in 75% of observations revealed a thickening of the periosteum of more than 1 millimeter (mm) in the affected bone. When using MRI in 93% of cases, and with MSCT in 95% of patients, signs of bone marrow edema were detected.DISCUSSION: The role of computed tomography in the diagnosis of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children has received significant recognition in pediatric surgical practice in recent years, and the use of MSCT in the diagnosis of CSO has found application in domestic healthcare. At the same time, a fairly large number of researchers reported on the high informativeness of MSCT in the diagnosis of CSOs.CONCLUSION: MSCT using the color mapping technique has a higher specificity compared to MRI and can be used as an integral method of the first level in the diagnosis of the intramedullary phase of the CSF course.
