Epidemiology of Spinal Infection,can be due to various pyogenic organisms, granulomatous organisms such as tuberculosis and brucellosis, and rarely, parasitic or fungal organisms. The incidence of spondylodiscitis varies from region to region, with the incidence of pyogenic spondylodiscitis being more frequent in developed countrie

Radiography and Computed Tomography of Spinal Infection,nvestigative tool to help avoid delayed or improper treatment that may result in increased morbidity and mortality. This chapter reviews the role of radiographs and computed tomography (CT) in the investigation and management of spinal infection by outlining the techniques, key imaging features, and

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently the imaging modality of choice for investigating spinal infection. It provides excellent soft tissue resolution

Nuclear Medicine Imaging of Spinal Infection, be very useful to aid diagnosis. Nuclear medicine imaging can provide significant information, in addition to more conventional imaging techniques such as radiography and MRI. Nuclear medicine imaging (SPECT and PET) have shown high sensitivity and accuracy with regard to spinal infection diagnosis

Hematogeneous spread is by far the commonest route of spinal infection, due to the rich arterial supply of the vertebral body. PSD warrants early diagnosis and prompt treatment to p

Imaging of Iatrogenic Spinal Infection,ion in instrumented and noninstrumented spines are discussed. We provide an overview of the typical infection locations and its imaging correlates, such as spondylodiscitis, epidural and paravertebral abscesses, facet joint infection, and myelomeningitis. Iatrogenic spinal infection should be differ

Imaging of Spinal Brucellosis,ease is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, occurring in all continents, but is more frequent in many countries of the Middle East, the Mediterranean region, and Latin America. The spine is the most common site of musculoskeletal involvement, followed by the sacroiliac joints. This chapter aims to
