Overview of diagnostic imaging in sepsis.
This article discusses available imaging modalities with an emphasis on patient preparation and techniques to optimize image quality. Appropriate imaging of localized sepsis is then discussed, with a description of imaging features of common causes of sepsis. Finally, an imaging approach is discussed in the septic patient without localizing features.
