uw says that we need to do 3 phase tecnitium bone scan if x ray negative for osteomyelitis as next step.
in case of spine/ foot osteomyelitis do MRI instead

so does that mean for diabetic osteomyelitis which happens due to contiguous spread from ulcer at foot we need to do MRI.

just confirming!!

someone!!

yes, first do x-ray, if normal do MRI

thanks
