Abstract:
Osteomyelitis is a bacterial infection of the bone, most commonly caused by the spread of the pathogen through the blood. Osteomyelitis in childhood is a serious condition that can potentially endanger a patient's life. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment is the most important factor in the prognosis of this disease. Three-phase bone scintigraphy is one of the most appropriate methods for early diagnosis of this disease. It is a method based on the application of a radioactive preparation - a radiopharmaceutical, which then accumulates in the target organ, in this case the bone. The radiopharmaceutical emits gamma rays, which are detected by a gamma camera, and with the help of a computer we get an bone image. The most commonly used radiopharmaceutical is Technetium 99m pertechnetate. There are 3 phases of this search: angiographic, tissue and bone. The advantages of this method are: early stage disease detection, suitable for multifocal and poorly localized changes, about 100 times lower radiation dose compared to x-ray.
