CT in pyogenic osteomyelitis of the spine

SV Kattapuram, WC Phillips, and R Boyd

Six patients with bacteriologically proven pyogenic osteomyelitis of the spine were followed serially with computed tomography (CT). Initial evaluation of the involved vertebral bodies and adjacent soft tissues showed a drop in CT numbers when compared to normal cancellous bone and soft tissues. A soft-tissue mass was seen in all cases. After appropriate antibiotic therapy, all six patients showed an increase in bone density and a diminution of the soft-tissue mass (p less than 0.05). Five of the six patients showed a further decrease in soft-tissue CT numbers.
