A member asked:

Why would a physician order a ct for neuropathic ulcer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Osteomyelitis: If you have neuropathic ulcers from poorly controlled diabetes, for instance, your doctor may examine the ulcer for signs of underlying infection of the bone and marrow, called osteomyelitis. Sometimes radiologic studies are used to detect evidence of osteomyelitis if the diagnosis remains uncertain.
