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 imagin
g under a CT guide, as well as a simple technique for contrast permane
nce within the sore, led the authors to demonstrate the validity of mo
dern CT scanning as a main diagnostic method.
