Limb infections in children and adults.
J. Vial,H. Chiavassa-Gandois +1 more
TL;DR: It is important to both know when to propose the diagnosis of infection, so that appropriate imaging investigations are carried out, and to be aware of the symptomatology of limb infections in children and adults and understand the differential diagnoses for each age group.

Primary Sternal Osteomyelitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus in an Immunocompetent Adult
TL;DR: A patient with PSO caused by Staphylococcus aureus that presented with chest pain and fever and after 8 weeks of antibiotics treatment, the patient recovered without any complications.
An untapped potential for imaging of peripheral osteomyelitis in paediatrics using [18F]FDG PET/CT -the inference from a juvenile porcine model.
P Afzelius,Ole L. Nielsen,Henrik Carl Schønheyder,Aage Kristian Olsen Alstrup,Søren B. Hansen +4 more
TL;DR: It was possible to reduce the injected activity considerably without compromising image quality, impacting the applicability of PET/CT in peripheral OM in children.
Gram-negative neonatal osteomyelitis: two case reports.
TL;DR: The need to include neonatal osteomyelitis in the differential diagnosis when late-onset or prolonged neonatal sepsis is present is highlighted, particularly because long-term outcome is dependent on rapid diagnosis and initiation of treatment.

Vertebral osteomyelitis: assessment using MR.
Michael T. Modic,D. H. Feiglin,David W. Piraino,Francis Boumphrey,Meredith A. Weinstein,Paul M. Duchesneau,Susan J. Rehm +6 more
TL;DR: The MR appearance of vertebral osteomyelitis in this study was characteristic, and MR was as accurate and sensitive as radionuclide scanning in the detection of osteomyalitis.

FDG PET of Infection and Inflammation
TL;DR: FDG PET will likely assume increasing importance in assessing FUO, spinal osteomyelitis, vasculitis, and sarcoidosis and may even become the radionuclide imaging procedure of choice in the evaluation of some or all of these pathologic conditions.

MR Imaging Findings in Spinal Infections: Rules or Myths?
TL;DR: Most MR Imaging criteria commonly used to diagnose disk infections offer good to excellent sensitivity, however, some of the classically described MR imaging criteria may not be observed in atypical manifestations of proven spinal infections.
