Evaluate for mass
Evaluate for soft tissue air
Evaluate for bone involvementSlide4
Soft Tissue Inflammatory
Multiple modalities
Ultrasound
Soft tissue changes
Fluid
Air with shadowing
CT
Soft tissue changes
Dirty fat (edema in fat)
Soft tissue airSlide5
Soft Tissue Inflammatory
Multiple modalities
MRI
Likely best for imaging of soft tissue inflammatory changes
Evaluate for fluid collections
Evaluate for edema
Nuclear Medicine
Labeled white cells
Identify areas of active infectionSlide6
Thumb Abscess
Soft tissue swelling
Central air collectionSlide7
Soft Tissue Abscess
Abscess quite similar to adjacent soft tissues
Very hard to identify on standard radiographs
US, CT and MRI most effective imaging technique
Abscess lower signal on T1 images
High signal on proton density and T2 imagesSlide8
Inflamed
Lipoma
Rim like zone on T1
Fluid signal on Stir
Ring enhancement on C+Slide9
Peri
-anal Abscess
MRI fluid sensitive sequence
Peri
-anal abscess
Fistula tractSlide10
Brain Inflammatory Disease
Encephalitis
Brain abscessSlide11
HIV Encephalitis
High signal areas involving white matter
Multiple bilateral areas of involvementSlide12
Brain Abscess
Ring enhancement due to breakdown of blood brain barrier
Ring enhancement may be thinner on side towards ventricles
