Chapter
Imaging in Musculoskeletal Infection
Abstract
Infectious agents can affect the musculoskeletal system by infecting the joint (septic arthritis), bone (osteomyelitis), or muscle (pyogenic myositis) or by causing soft tissue infections such as cellulitis, necrotizing fasciitis, or abscess formation. This chapter will review the various presentations of infection-related arthritis and their radiological characteristics.
