متن کاملDifferentiation of necrotizing fasciitis and cellulitis using MR imaging.
OBJECTIVE This study was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of MR imaging in differentiating necrotizing fasciitis from cellulitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Spin-echo T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted spin-echo sequences were performed in 15 patients with clinically suspected necrotizing fasciitis. In two other patients, only unenhanced imaging was performed. Th...
