Clinical Trial: Detection of Osteomyelitis Using High Resolution Ultrasound

Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Sensitivity, Specificity and Predictive Value of High Resolution (B-Mode) Ultrasonography (HRUS) for the Detection of Osteomyelitis in Chronic Wound Patients

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to establish the sensitivity of HRUS as compared to MRI for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis in chronic wound patients; and to determine the specificity of HRUS as compared to pathologic and microbiologic studies of bone biopsy tissues.
