Charcot Arthropathy vs Osteomyelitis
DIFFERENTIATION BY IMAGING
  • Conventional Bone Scan (Tc 99 MDP)
  • Ceretec Scan (Tc 99 HMPAO)
  • White Cell Scan (In 111 Oxine)
  • Other (Tc 99 Sulfur Colloid)


  • COMBINATION –  Increased Sensitivity
  • Increased Specificity


16


ALTERNATIVE


  • Tc HMPAO


  •  OR


  • Indium 111


  • ALONE – Not in Combination



  • Charcot Arthropathy vs Osteomyelitis


17


CHRONIC Scenario

  • Tc HMPAO
  • (Ceretec Scan)
  • OR
  • Indium 111


  • (White Cell Scan)




  • Charcot Arthropathy vs Osteomyelitis
18
 Imaging – False Positives
  • Fractures / Contusions
  • Tumor / Malignancy
  • Inflammatory Arthritis (R.A., Gout, etc)
  • Occult Fractures
  • Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
  • RECENT SURGICAL MANIPULATION
