Multiple CT imaging in pressure sores.

Abstract

In patients affected by pressure sores, bones can be reached easily by the infection. This suggested a new way for a more precise diagnostic evaluation, looking at the most recent technological knowledge, which can offer a better evaluation of single lesions for a better planning of surgical operations. The possibility of performing multiple imaging under a CT guide, as well as a simple technique for contrast permanence within the sore, led the authors to demonstrate the validity of modern CT scanning as a main diagnostic method.
