Soft tissue involvement is seen in cases of untreated or in rapidly spreading progressing cellulitis. MRI can be of great value in such cases. A T2-weighted image may demonstrate hyperintensity and soft tissue thickening whilst T1 may show hypointensity and postcontrast enhancement.
MRI
Soft tissue involvement is seen in cases of untreated or in rapidly spreading progressing cellulitis. MRI can be of great value in such cases. A T2-weighted image may demonstrate hyperintensity and soft tissue thickening whilst T1 may show hypointensity and postcontrast enhancement. [1] CT scans can be helpful in demonstrating involvement of subcutaneous fat and abcess formation.
