Reason: Patient w/ LE wounds, elevated inflammatory markers-eval for osteo History: LE wounds Some sequences are limited by patient motion artifact. There is thickening and mild enhancement of the skin with edema of the underlying subcutaneous fat, compatible with cellulitis. There is mild atrophy of the musculature of the leg with patchy increased signal intensity within the musculature on T2-weighted images which may represent superimposed edema, but we see no enhancement of the muscle, nor do we see any fluid collection to indicate abscess formation. The bone marrow signal intensity is within normal limits without findings to suggest osteomyelitis. There is a small joint effusion of the knee as well as osteoarthritis of the knee.
Cellulitis and other findings as described above without evidence of osteomyelitis.
