Overview
Computed tomography (CT scan with contrast is the best initial imaging test for gangrene. [1] [2] [3]
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan Findings
- Computed tomography (CT scan with contrast is the best initial imaging test for gangrene. [1] [2] [3]
- Clinically relevant findings seen in CT scan include:
- Presence of gas
- Presence of fluid collections
- Variation in the heterogeneity of soft tissues with the use of intravenous contrast, and
- Presence of inflammatory changes underneath the fascia. [4]
