[The use of gadolinium-DTPA in inflammatory bone diseases].
In bacterial osteomyelitis and arthritis para-osseous spreading is sensitively detected by Gadolinium-DTPA. Abscessed cavities and membranes are better imaged than with T1- and T2-weighted MRT-sequences without contrast medium. In chronic osteomyelitis it is of advantage, that also florid inflammatory process can be detected. Gadolinium-DTPA selectively induces a signal increase in the synovial pannus, that allows the differentiation from articular effusion. In inflamed para-articular soft tissue only a retarded signal increase is detectable.
