Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Sonography and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Preoperative Diagnosis of Infected Nonunions

Conclusions— Contrast-enhanced sonography can visualize the vascularity of nonunions in real time, while quantification software allows for a semiobjective evaluation of bone perfusion. The correlations of both quantitative contrast-enhanced sonography and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI with microbiological results show their high value for differentiation of infected from aseptic nonunions.
