the neuropathic group (p = 0.027) [134]. Lin, Wu, et al.
examined the foot musculature with 1H MRI at 3 T and
quantitatively mapped the ratio of inorganic phosphate/
phosphocreatine (Pi/PCr) metabolic function with 31P imaging in diabetic and nondiabetic feet [142]. Muscle atrophy
was signicantly more severe in diabetic feet compared to
normal subjects in all regions (P< 0.01), and the Pi/PCr
ratio in the exor hallucis and interosseous regions showed
signicant differences between the diabetic and nondiabetic
groups (P<0.0). Suzuki etal. measured fat/water and phosphocreatine/inorganic phosphate (PCr/Pi) ratios and calculated the intracellular pH of resting plantar muscles using a
combined 1H-31P surface coil in 12 diabetic patients with
supercial foot ulcers, 14 diabetic patients without foot
ulcers, and 12 age- and sex- matched nondiabetic controls
and found that motor nerve dysfunction in diabetic patients
was closely associated with impaired energy metabolism,
fatty inltration of muscles, increased intracellular pH of
plantar muscles, and high frequency of foot ulcers [135].
Dinh etal. measured the phosphocreatinine/inorganic phosphate (PCr/Pi) ratio, total 31P concentration, and lipid/water
ratio in the muscles in the metatarsal head region using MRI
spectroscopy in healthy control subjects and in both nonneuropathic and neuropathic diabetic patients [133]. They
found signicant differences in the muscle energy reserves
among the three groups. Thus, the PCr/Pi ratio was highest
in the control group, followed by the nonneuropathic group,
and was lowest in the neuropathic group. In addition, the
total 31P concentration, an indication of the muscle volume,
was decreased in the neuropathic group but was comparable
in the control and nonneuropathic groups. Similarly, the
lipid/water ratio, an indication of muscle atrophy, was
increased in the neuropathic group, but there was no lipid/
water ratio difference between the control and nonneuropathic groups. Their ndings supported the presence of an
adverse effect on foot muscle energy reserves even before
the development of clinical neuropathy, with a more pronounced degradation of energy reserves observed following
the onset of clinical neuropathy. A series of studies have
measured the rate of phosphocreatine resynthesis after exercise—considered an index of mitochondrial oxidative
metabolism in muscle—and have observed differences in
the rate of resynthesis between normal and pathological
states, a tool that can be employed to track disease progression or response to treatment to evaluate the impact of different interventions [143–146]. Recently, Bolacchi et al.
have turned their attention to the spectroscopy of marrow fat
and have proposed the use of proton spectroscopy to follow
changes in marrow lipids in the setting of stage 0 acute neuroarthropathy [147].
Dierentiating Osteomyelitis
fromNeuroarthropathy
Differentiation between osteomyelitis and neuroarthropathy
is often difcult. Certain neuroarthropathic changes resemble osteomyelitis on imaging. In order to better understand
the similarities and differences, the imaging characteristics
of neuroarthropathy will be presented here. A more complete
discussion of neuro-osteoarthropathic changes are provided
in another chapter of this book.
Neuroarthropathy
The loss of both pain and proprioceptive sensation is believed
to predispose to repetitive trauma, leading to diabetic neuroarthropathy [16]. Though neuroarthropathy is potentially
devastating, the reported incidence of neuropathic joints in
the diabetic patient is surprisingly low, 0.1–7.5% [148]. The
lifetime prevalence of Charcot neuroarthropathy in patients
with diabetes has been reported to range from 0.1% to 10%,
increasing to 29% to 35% if peripheral neuropathy is present
[149]. The joints of the forefoot and midfoot are commonly
involved. The distribution of neuroarthropathy in diabetic
patients is 24% in the intertarsal region, 30% in the tarsometatarsal region (Fig.5.16), and 30% in the metatarsophalangeal joints [150]. Abnormalities of the ankle (11%) and
interphalangeal (4%) joints are less frequent [150].
Two classic forms of neuroarthropathy, atrophic and
hypertrophic, have been described [151]. The atrophic form,
representing the acute resorptive or hyperemic phase, is
characterized by osseous resorption and osteopenia. This
form frequently appears in the forefoot and the metatarsophalangeal joints, leading to the partial or complete disappearance of the metatarsal heads and proximal phalanges.
Osteolytic changes produce the tapering or “pencil-pointing”
of phalangeal and metatarsal shafts. Marrow changes in the
atrophic or hyperemic form show hypointense T1 (low T1)
and hyperintense STIR (bright STIR) signal and mimic the
changes seen in osteomyelitis. The hypertrophic form, representing the healing or reparative phase, is characterized by
sclerosis, osteophytosis, and radiographic appearance of
extreme degenerative change (Fig.5.16). In its early phase,
the hypertrophic form of neuroarthropathy may be confused
with osteoarthritis. Concurrent osseous fragmentation, subluxation, or dislocation predominates in the intertarsal and
tarsometatarsal joints. Ruptured ligaments in the mid- and
forefoot cause the dorso-lateral displacement of the metatarsal bones in relation to the tarsal bones. This classic nding
resembles an acute Lisfranc fracture dislocation (Fig.5.17).

joints causes the collapse of the longitudinal arch, with the
subsequent plantar displacement of the talus. These changes
produce the classic “rocker-bottom” deformity [152]. The
recognition of this deformity is important because it creates
new pressure points that lead to callus formation and ulceration (Fig.5.18). Attempts to classify neuropathic joints into
the two classic forms may be difcult as a mixed pattern,
composed of both forms, occurs in 40% of neuropathic joints
[153]. Traditionally, the classication of the natural history
of the clinical and radiographic features of neuropathic
osteoarthropathy has been based on the Eichenholtz classication, though many updated and alternative systems have
also been proposed [148, 154, 155]. Notably, the Eichenholtz
classication has been modied to include stage 0, which is
characterized by swelling, erythema, and warmth, but with
normal-appearing radiographs [156–158]. In stage 0, even
though radiographs are negative, MRI and nuclear medicine
exams can reveal abnormal ndings of early neuroarthropathy, such as bone marrow edema on MRI and increased
activity on scintigraphic exams. By facilitating early treatment, the recognition of early changes of neuroarthropathy
may help forestall disease progression and foot deformity
[149, 159–164].
Radiography is the rst-line imaging modality for the assessment of suspected neuropathic osteoarthropathy [25, 26,
149]. However, sensitivity for the diagnosis of acute neuroar-
thropathy is relatively low (60%), with specicity of around
80% [148, 165]. Initial radiographs may be negative but can
serve as a baseline for comparison [149]. Early radiographic
ndings include soft tissue swelling (which can be minimal),
focal demineralization, subchondral fracture (e.g., head of
second metatarsal), and small ecks of bone suggesting ligamentous avulsion, periarticular bone resorption [149, 155,
166]. Radiographic ndings in chronic Charcot osteoar-
thropathy are more readily appreciated and include subluxation, dislocation, fractures, bone fragmentation with debris
formation, and evidence of “healing” or recrudescence, such
as sclerosis at bone edges, osteophyte formation, and areas
of bone fusion, with resultant overall deformity [155].
Weight-bearing radiographs are helpful in assessing alignment, including pes planus and “rocker bottom” deformity,
plantar and dorsal subluxation of metatarsal bases, and
Lisfranc subluxation and dislocation, and are helpful for preoperative planning, with comparison between bilateral
weight-bearing radiographs helping to highlight subtle early

the foot. Progression can result in extreme “rocker bottom deformity”
changes in alignment [149, 167, 168]. Alignment abnormalities demonstrated on standing lms have been associated
with the prediction of ulceration [154, 155, 169, 170].
(b). AP view shows Lis-Franc malalignment (arrow) as well as disruption of the navicular-cuneiform articulations

helpful in the evaluation of the mid-foot where a bony overlap limits visualization on radiographs. In chronic
neuroarthropathy, CT may be useful for preoperative planning [25, 155, 171, 172].
CT
CT has limited sensitivity for the detection of bone marrow
edema, which limits its utility in the early stage of neuroosteoarthropathy. However, CT—with or without IV contrast—can be more sensitive for the detection of early
fracture and subluxation than radiographs and therefore may
help in demonstrating early structural changes of neuroarthropathy, to help in distinguishing it from osteomyelitis, as
a cause of soft tissue swelling in diabetic patients who pres-
Ultrasound
Ultrasound has very limited value in assessing the bone and
joint changes of neuroarthropathy. However, a pilot study
describing the use of ultrasound to detect soft tissue
changes of neuroarthropathy in grade-0-modied
Eichenholz classication patients with negative radiographs has been described [173].

In the acute phase, MRI ndings in neuroarthropathy include
soft tissue edema, joint effusion, subchondral marrow edema,
disruption of the Lisfranc ligament, and osseous and/or articular disorganization, patchy intraosseous bone marrow on
uid-sensitive sequences, and enhancement of subchondral
marrow on postcontrast sequences [154, 174–176]. In
chronic neuroarthropathy, soft tissue edema may persist.
However, marrow edema and enhancement decreases [154,
174–176]. Subchondral cysts (rounded low T1/high T2 foci)
and linear areas of low T1 signal as well as subluxation, dislocation, and bone fragmentation and hypertrophy are seen
[154, 174, 175]. Other than the characteristic ndings of diffuse dark marrow signal on T1-weighted, STIR, and
T2-weighted MR images associated with hypertrophic neuroarthropathy (as opposed to high T2 and high STIR signal
seen in osteomyelitis), there is no easy method of distinguishing between osteomyelitis and neuroarthropathy [165,
166, 174, 177]. Secondary ndings such as involvement of
the midfoot and of multiple joints, absence of cortical
destruction, presence of small subchondral cyst-like lesions,
and distance between soft tissue infection and bone changes
favor a diagnosis of neuroarthropathy (Table 5.6). In contrast, osteomyelitis favors the toes or metatarsal heads, calca-
osteomyelitis tend to occur on one side of the joint (unless
associated with septic arthritis), while neuroarthopathic
changes tend to occur on both sides of a joint [154, 166,
174]. When assessing for potential superinfection of a neuro-
arthropathic joint, signs include sinus tracts, total effacement
of the adjacent soft tissue fat signal, larger than expected
uid collections in soft tissues, diffuse marrow edema
throughout a bone, and interval disappearance of the subchondral cysts and/or intra-articular loose bodies. When cortical margins are indistinct on T1-weighted images but
appear distinct on T2-weighted or contrast-enhanced images
(ghost sign), that is also suggestive of superimposed osteomyelitis [126, 127]. Findings supporting an absence of
superimposed infection are a thin rim of enhancement surrounding a joint effusion, the presence of subchondral cysts,
or the presence of intra-articular bodies [126, 127].
The use of advanced MR imaging techniques—such as
dynamic (rapid sequential) contrast enhancement and
diffusion- weighted imaging—for the distinction between
neuroarthropathy and osteomyelitis is currently being
explored [178]. One recent study in a group of 30 patients
suggests the potential utility of dynamic-contrast-enhanced
MRI for differentiating between osteomyelitis and neuroar-

thropathy in the foot. Two parameters derived from the time
course of dynamic contrast enhancement showed signicant
correlation with C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte
sedimentation rate (ESR) and, moreover, showed signicantly different values in the areas of osteomyelitis vs. neuropathic arthropathy [106]. In a prospective study of 31
patients with diabetic foot infection, MRI showed good
accuracy in differentiating neuroarthropathy and osteomyelitis based on both ratios between pathologic and normal bone
on diffusion-weighted images and on parameters derived
from dynamic enhancement (AUC 0.814–0.830) when larger
regions of interest were employed [179]. Ultimately, based
on currently available techniques, differential diagnosis may
require the aspiration of joint uid or percutaneous biopsy,
though care should be taken to avoid introducing infection
into a noninfected bone [155, 174].
Radionuclide Studies
A technetium 99m methylene diphosphonate bone scan will
show increased activity in the areas of increased bone
turnover, but this nding is nonspecic and can be seen with
trauma, postsurgical change, and infection. As a result,
changes of Charcot osteoarthropathy can result in increased
activity on bone scan and can cause a false positive scan for
osteomyelitis [25, 149].
While white blood cell scans are often negative in the setting of Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy alone [149, 160],
false positive WBC scans can occur in an uninfected foot, in
the setting of recent-onset neuroarthropathy, due to WBC
accumulation at the site of neuroarthropathy [25, 46]. This
false positive uptake has been hypothesized to be secondary
to the presence of hematopoietically active marrow [45, 46,
180]. Combined WBC/sulfur colloid bone marrow scintigra-
phy has been proposed as a means to differentiate between
marrow and infection as the cause of WBC accumulation in
the neuropathic joint, and in a small series, this combined
study was superior to both three-phase bone scan alone and
combined bone-and-WBC scan [45, 46, 180].
Keidar etal. found that 18FDG uptake on PET scans was
increased in both infection and osteoarthropathy [52].
However, several studies have suggested a potential future
role for FDG-PET in distinguishing neuroarthropathy from
osteomyelitis [59, 181, 182]. Garcia Deiz etal. compared
diffusion-weighted and dynamic-contrast-enhanced MRI
with 18F FDG PET/CT for the differentiation of osteomyelitis from neuroarthropathy in the foot in 31 diabetic patients
and found that a visual assessment of FDG PET/CT images
was the most accurate technique for differentiation, with a
signicantly higher AUC (0.848–0.903) than with MRI performed with diffusion weighting and dynamic contrast
enhancement [179]. A few early reports based on the use of
novel radionuclides have also been proposed [183, 184].

Imaging Algorithm: Approach
totheDiagnosis ofPedal Osteomyelitis
intheDiabetic Patient
A suggested algorithm for imaging pedal osteomyelitis in
the diabetic patient is presented in Fig.5.19.
Soft Tissue Ulceration Exposing Bone
When a soft tissue ulcer exposes bone, there is a relatively
high positive predictive value for osteomyelitis [1, 21].
Radiography is appropriate to provide a baseline and to document bone complications. MRI may be useful for preoperative planning as it provides detailed anatomic landmarks for
bone and soft tissue pathology and has a high negative
predictive value for osteomyelitis and soft tissue infection,
thus demarcating normal bone and soft tissue.
Soft Tissue Inammation (Ulcers and/or
Cellulitis) withNo Exposed Bone
Radiographic ndings are used to further separate patients
into two groups—(i) those who have obvious changes of
osteomyelitis on their foot radiographs, yielding a presumptive diagnosis of osteomyelitis, and (ii) those whose foot
radiographs appear normal.
If radiographs show characteristic changes of osteomyelitis, an MRI may be performed for preoperative planning in
order to map the extent of the abnormalities and localize any
devitalized areas.
If the radiographs show normal bone and the clinical suspicion for osteomyelitis is high, then an MRI will help demonstrate the presence and distribution of bone and soft tissue
infection [174]. Although the use of intravenous (IV) gadolinium contrast is generally preferred because it can help
delineate stulous communication between an ulcer and
areas of bony abnormality and also will outline soft tissue
abscesses, if IV contrast is contraindicated, e.g., due to renal
insufciency, MRI performed without IV contrast can still
be very useful in demonstrating areas of bone and soft tissue
abnormality. An MRI with classic ndings of osteomyelitis
provides a presumptive diagnosis of osteomyelitis. A normal
MRI has a high negative predictive value and effectively
excludes osteomyelitis. Occasionally, an MRI may be indeterminate, particularly in cases when distinction between
osteomyelitis and neuroarthropathy is difcult. While certain
MR imaging features favor osteomyelitis vs. changes of
osteoarthropathy, in some cases, the distinction between
osteomyelitis and osteoarthropathy may be difcult [174]
(Table5.6). In those cases, additional workup is required, as
detailed below.
If MRI is contraindicated or not available, then a labelled
leukocyte (white blood cell) scan can serve as an effective
alternative [25]. In the complex anatomy of the mid- and
hindfoot, SPECT/CT images may be a useful adjunct to
labeled leukocyte scanning in order to help determine
whether increased activity is located in the soft tissues or in
the bone [30, 31]. Combined WBC scan and bone scan can
also be considered. When changes of osteoarthropathy are
present, then a technetium-99m sulfur colloid bone marrow scan, as a complement to the labeled leukocyte scan,
may be helpful [25, 46, 180]. Labeled leukocytes can accumulate in an uninfected neuropathic foot [46], and a correlative technetium- 99 m sulfur colloid bone scan helps
differentiate labeled leukocyte activity due to bone marrow
displacement vs. osteomyelitis. A study is positive for
osteomyelitis when uptake is greater in either intensity or
distribution on the labelled leukocyte scan, compared with
the bone marrow scan [46]. In practice, an indium-111-labeled leukocyte (WBC) scan and a technetium-99m sulfur
colloid bone marrow scan can both be performed in a single
“sitting” rather than as sequential studies. FDG PET/CT is
often not reimbursed for this indication, but evidence for
the utility of FDG PET/CT in this setting is growing [179,
181, 182]. Nuclear medicine bone scan studies have long
been the mainstay for the imaging of osteomyelitis. While
three-phase bone scans—as a stand-alone study—are no
longer formally considered a rst-line nuclear medicine for
the evaluation of osteomyelitis [25, 29], in practice, they
are often employed as a rst-line alternative, when MRI is
contraindicated or not available, because they are relatively
easy and rapid to obtain.
Although CT has a limited role in the imaging workup of
osteomyelitis, if radiographs are normal and suspicion for
osteomyelitis is low, then CT may help demonstrate early
changes of osteoarthropathy [25].
Equivocal MRI
If MRI is equivocal for osteomyelitis, then further imaging
workup could include a labeled leukocyte scan, with SPECT
or SPECT/CT, if required [25, 26, 30, 31]. Combined WBC
scan and bone scan can also be considered. If there are
changes of osteoarthropathy, a comparative technetium-99m
sulfur colloid bone marrow scan could be considered [25,
180]. As noted above, in practice, three phase bone scans are
often employed as the next imaging study after an equivocal
MRI because of their ready feasibility, even though they are
not formally recommended as a next-line exam.

Conclusion
Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of a diabetic patient with foot problems. Nuclear medicine and MRI
techniques detect osteomyelitis, characterize various soft tissue abnormalities, and depict the extent of bone involvement. Distinguishing osteomyelitis from coincident
neuropathic change remains a challenge, but newer techniques such as dynamic contrast enhanced MRI, diffusionweighted MRI, combined WBC scans and bone marrow
scans, and FDG PET/CT may come to play a role in making
this distinction. Recent advances in MR spectroscopy provide tools to assess metabolic changes in the infected or neuropathic foot. Only with an understanding of the specic
strengths and weaknesses of each modality, as they apply to
the particular clinical problem in question, can this wide
variety of imaging studies be utilized in an effective and efcient manner.
