Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is specific for osteomyelitis diagnosis. This imaging modality has 90% sensitivity and 85% specificity in diagnosis of diabetic foot ulcers. While MRI is very efficient in diagnosis of diabetic foot, its usage with contrast materials such as gadolinium is not recommended in diabetic patients with evidences of renal diseases. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can be helpful in evaluation of limb perfusion. Nevertheless, it has limited spatial resolution and reports could be influenced by previous stents or implants.
