Abstract
Diagnosis of a septic joint can be a problem for both the clinician an d the imager. The longer the delay in diagnosis of a septic arthritis, the greater the chance of significant complication. Many imaging moda lities are available to the imager and each plays a definite role. In determining the modality of choice, one should choose what is most eff icacious for the individual patient.
