From the literature I have read as a medical transcriptionist, it is not easy to detect osteomyelitis. Blood tests and x-rays are the first line of testing. However, results of these tests may mimic other conditions. The most commonly used test is a technetium bone scan. With this test, there is about an 85% chance of correct diagnosis. I just learned about a new scanning medium approved in Canada that improves the percentage. I believe it is called LeukoScan.
