Reason: patient w/ leg wound, elevated inflammatory markers eval for osteomyelitis History: LE wounds bilat There is thickening and enhancement of the skin as well as subcutaneous edema compatible with cellulitis. There is mild fatty atrophy of the musculature of the leg. Additionally, there is mild increased signal abnormality within the muscles of the leg on fluid sensitive sequences that may represent edema, but we see no focal fluid collection to suggest abscess formation, nor do we see frank enhancement of the muscle. The bone marrow signal intensity is within normal limits without findings to suggest osteomyelitis. There is osteoarthritis of the knee and a small knee joint effusion.
Cellulitis and other findings as described above without evidence of osteomyelitis.
