If osteomyelitis in the childhood period is not
treated appropriately or if early diagnosis is not made, it may become a
difficult disease causing permanent disability. There are many imaging methods
used for diagnosis. If scintigraphy is considered, it provides findings for
suspected cases before direct radiography. In this study, the use of
scintigraphy and new techniques for pediatric period osteomyelitis diagnosis were
investigated accompanied by a review of the current literature.

Pediatrik Osteomiyelit Tanısında Sintigrafi

Öz

Çocukluk çağı osteomiyeliti uygun tedavi edilmediğinde ya da erken tanı
konulamadığında kalıcı sakatlık bırakabilen zor bir hastalıktır. Tanıda
kullanılan birçok görüntüleme yöntemi vardır. Sintigrafi akla gelmesi durumunda
şüphelenilen olgularda direkt grafiden önce bulgu vermektedir. Bu çalışmada
çocukluk çağı osteomiyelit tanısında sintigrafi ve yeni teknikleri  güncel literatür eşliğinde göz önüne alınarak
incelenmiştir.
