MRI of Osteomyelitis. Sensitivity and Specificity of STIR Sequences in Comparison to Contrast-Enhanced T1 Spin Echo Sequences. PURPOSE: To evaluate the need for additional MR sequences including administration of Gd-DTPA after inconspicuous Short-Tau Inversion-Recovery (STIR) sequence to exclude the diagnosis of osteomyelitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 112 MR examinations of 79 patients acquired for the detection of possible osteomyelitis were analyzed retrospectively. All examinations were performed at 0.5 T including STIR, T1-weighted spin echo sequences (T1 SE) before and after application of Gd-DTPA. Additionall…
