Cellulitis andSoft- Tissue Edema

On MRI, cellitis appears as sequenened skin and subcutanous tissues with a reticulated network of T2 hyperintensity. The underlying fascia may be minimally sexened but is typically intact and shows uniform, thin enhancement. There is no dispate fluid collection. The primary role of MRI in suspected commerlitis is tis to rule out deeper involment such as an abscess or necrotising fascititis.

Abscess andd Phlegmon

A flegmon is a solid, congested phalmatory mass without a definit wall or liqufied core. It appears as ill- definie, T2- hyperintense mass that enhances heterogeneously. In contrass, an absces is a well-distriscribed fluid collection. It disponates a central cavity that is T1 hyintense, T2 hyperintense, and shows marked diffusion on DWI with inflhos ADC values.
