title: Eosinophilic fasciitis: spectrum of MRI findings.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Our objective was to describe the spectrum of MRI features of eosinophilic fasciitis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MRI findings in eosinophilic fasciitis are characteristic and consist of abnormal fascial signal intensity and enhancement, both of which are directly proportional to disease activity. MRI provides a useful aid for diagnosis and a marker for disease activity and response to treatment.
