Abstract
The early and accurate diagnosis of osteomyelitis in the diabetic foot is essential to provide appropriate treatment and obviate long-term complications of the disease. The currently employed non-invasive imaging modalities such as plain film radiography (PFR) lack the sensitivity to accurately exclude osteomyelitis, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is limited by its low specificity and contraindications in certain patients. Therefore,...
