AB MR imaging is the ideal technique to display the soft-tissue
abnormalities produced by infectious processes. In general these
soft-tissue alterations consist of signal intensity changes that reflect
the increased water content of the soft tissues induced by the
inflammatory reactions. In some cases these changes are nonspecific, but
in others, MR imaging can be quite specific and helpful in detecting the
presence and extent of the infection, which generally is suspected
clinically on the basis of physical and laboratory findings. The MR
manifestations of soft-tissue infection, including septic arthritis,
tenosynovitis, bursitis, cellulitis, necrotizing fascitis, soft-tissue
abscess, infectious myositis, HIV-related infection, lymphadenitis and
lymphangitis, and a few unusual parasitic and fungal infections, are
reviewed.
