Overview

It is recommended to perform CT scan only if MRI is contraindicated. CT scan is a sensitive modality for detecting abnormal bone appearance in patients with diabetic foot ulceration. Altered appearance of bones such as bone erosions, charcot joint, reduced joint space, osteopenia and osteophyte formation can be detected on CT scan.
