title: Imaging of musculoskeletal soft tissue infection.
abstract: The role of different imaging techniques in the assessment of musculoskeletal soft tissue infection will be reviewed in this article. As classification according to the causative agent is impossible with imaging, soft tissue infections will be classified in view of their location. Consecutively, musculoskeletal soft tissue infections of the joints, tendons and bursae, muscles, the skin and its related structures as well as infectious lymphadenitis and lymphangitis will be discussed.
