Comparison of the diagnosis of plain radiography ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in early diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis experimentally formed on rabbits

MRI which is one of the radiologic modalities among other diagnostic radiologic modalities that can be used in early diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis, has the highest sensitivity. Ultrasonography is the second most sensitive modality. Radiographic analysis has the least sensitivity among other modalities. As a result, first MRI then US and after that plain radiography should be used for the early diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis.
