Figure 1From: Polymerase Chain Reaction molecular diagnostic technology for monitoring chronic osteomyelitisRadiographic evaluation of osteomyelitis. (A) A proximal rabbit tibia that had been inoculated with 1 × 106 CFU of bacteria exhibits evidence of osteomyelitis, characterized by lucency and bony erosion. (B) A proximal rabbit tibia that had not been inoculated with bacteria demonstrates no evidence of osteomyelitis or bony compromise.Back to article page
