ABSTRACT
Although superficial infections can often be diagnosed and managed clinically, physical examination may lack sensitivity and specificity, and imaging is often required to evaluate the depth of involvement and identify complications. Depending on the area of involvement, radiography, ultrasound, CT, MR imaging, or a combination of imaging modalities may be required. Soft tissue infections can be nonnecrotizing or necrotizing, with the later having a morbid and rapid course. Infectious tenosynovitis most commonly affects the flexor tendon sheaths of the hand, characterized by thickened and enhancing synovium with fluid-filled tendon sheaths.
