Eosinophilic fasciitis: spectrum of MRI findings

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2005 Mar;184(3):975-8. doi: 10.2214/ajr.184.3.01840975.

Abstract

Objective: Our objective was to describe the spectrum of MRI features of eosinophilic fasciitis.

Conclusion: 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.
