Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Sagar Wagle from Stanford University presents radiological evaluations in cases of heel wounds, focusing on identifying osteomyelitis. X-rays are noted as insensitive for detecting bone infection, while MRI is emphasized for its sensitivity. A 16-year-old male and a 35-year-old female with heel wounds demonstrate signs on MRI, notably bone marrow edema and hypo intense marrow signals indicative of osteomyelitis. Additionally, a 55-year-old patient’s MRI reveals both osteomyelitis and Achilles tendonitis due to a pressure ulcer. The presentation underscores MRI's crucial role in effectively diagnosing these conditions.
