Overview

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI is specific for osteomyelitis diagnosis.^[1]
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can be helpful in evaluation of limb perfusion. Nevertheless it has limited spatial resolution and reports could be influenced by previous stents or implants.^[2]
Usage of contrast materials such as gadolinium is not recommended in diabetic patients due to high risk of renal failure.^[3]^[4]
