Abstrakt:	Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the actual gold standard for the radiological diagnosis of diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO). Materials and Methods: MRI is not always available and many patients have contraindications. We evaluated the clinical value of 99mTc-antigranulocyte SPECT/CT (AGS) in eight DFO patients who underwent MRI before. Results: The goal was to have a better clinical view on the extent of bone infection and to ameliorate the surgical approach for DFO. However, this additional scintigraphy did not change anything in the clinical approach. Conclusion: We shared our experience with AGS for clinical management of complex DFO cases.
