To assess the value of imaging by 0.1 T MR and by 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled leukocytes in confirming skeletal infection in patients with soft-tissue infections and/or bone pathology. ⋯ Combined imaging with MR and 99mTc-labeled leukocytes is recommended in diagnostically complicated bone infections except for spondylitis where MR is the method of choice. Congruent positive findings are highly suggestive of infection, the extent of which can be determined. Congruent negative results exclude infection.
