title: [Role of x-ray computed tomography in infections of soft tissue].
abstract: The authors relate their own experience in 64 cases of soft tissue infection investigated by computed tomography: 25 lesions only located in soft tissue of the extremities and 39 associated with bone and/or joint lesions, including the spine. The describe CT findings of abscesses, "solid" infections and cellulitis. Advantages and bounds of the CT in this field are defined.
