Can a CT scan detect a bone infection?
A bone infection is called osteomyelitis. A CT scan can definitely detect a bone infection if the infection is advanced. For example, having an infected foot ulcer that extends and touches the bone. Eventually the bone will get infected. Once infected, after some time, the bone will start changing, for example it will start eroding. We can see those changes on the CT scan. However, a much better scan to detect if the bone is infected before it starts eroding is to get an MRI. The MRI can see if the bone itself, specifically the bone marrow, has changed and if it is suggestive of an infection. READ MORE
