Development of a multicentre cohort study to understand the role of MRI and ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute haematogenous bone and joint infection in children (the PIC Bone study): a study protocol

Bone & Joint Open
Aims: Bone and joint infections (BJI) in children are rare but can be serious. Differentiating BJI from other conditions with similar symptoms is critical. Advanced imaging (ultrasound scans (USS) and MRI) is often required to confirm the diagnosis. The
