EARLY DIAGNOSTICS OF OSTEOMYELITIS IN CHILDREN: LIMITS OF DIAGNOSTICS POSSIBILITIES

The comparative analysis of the diagnostic possibilities of X-ray, X-ray computer tomography, ultrasound diagnostics, magneto-resonant tomography, radionuclear diagnostics and searching osteoperforation is conducted in case of acute hematogenic osteomyelitis depending on the age, localization, phase and stage of the disease. The diagnostic algorithm is suggested which takes into account diagnostic possibilities of the radial diagnostics methods in the intramedullary and extramedullary phase of the acute hematogenic osteomyelitis. The possibilities of diagnostics and/or therapeutic osteoperforation under the X-ray computer tomography control and ultrasound diagnostics (especially in 1-year old children) are discussed.

Keywords: osteomyelitis, X-ray, ultrasound diagnostics, radionuclear diagnostics
