Role of MRI in the diagnosis and treatment of osteomyelitis in pediatric patients

Figure 7 Osteomyelitis secondary to open fracture. A: Coronal T1-weighted image of the left distal tibia shows a displaced fracture of the distal tibial metadiaphysis (solid arrow) with associated bone marrow edema (dashed arrow); B: Coronal T2-weighted image of the same patient shows a fluid collection adjacent to the fracture (solid arrow) with T2 hyperintense marrow edema (dashed arrow); C: Coronal T1-weighted post-contrast image shows peripheral enhancement surrounding the above-mentioned fluid collection, consistent with an abscess (solid arrows).
