Core Tip	Osteomyelitis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Plain radiography and radionuclide bone scintigraphy, which have been the traditional imaging modalities for detecting osteomyelitis, both have significant limitations. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly relied upon for detecting osteomyelitis in children, due to its superior soft tissue contrast for detecting early disease and extraosseous complication, as well as its lack of ionizing radiation exposure to patients. This article focuses on basic and advanced MRI techniques for evaluating osteomyelitis, as well as MRI imaging features of disease and their impact on clinical management.
