Accurate imaging diagnosis is an essential part of the treatment algorithm. This review addresses advantages of available imaging modalities and radiologic appearance of the various manifestations of infection. Controversies are addressed, including the use of the term “osteitis.” Finally, the differential diagnosis of infection is reviewed, such as inflammatory arthropathies and tumors that can simulate infection on imaging exams.
