Overview
Key CT Findings in Diabetic Foot
- The following are some of the key CT findings in patients with diabetic foot:[1][2]
- Altered appearance of bones
- Charcot joint
- Decreased joint space
- Osteopenia
- Osteophyte formation
- Bone erosions (In a study done on diabetic patients with foot ulcers it was the most common bone change that has been detected on CT scan)
- Altered appearance of bones
- CT scan is a sensitive modality for detecting abnormal bone appearance in patients with diabetic foot ulceration.[1]
- In contrast to X-rays, CT scan can be used for diagnosis of osteomyelitis.[2]
