Utility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Differentiating Necrotizing Fasciitis from Severe Cellulitis: A Magnetic Resonance Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis (MRINEC) Algorithm

Utility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Differentiating Necrotizing Fasciitis from Severe Cellulitis: A Magnetic Resonance Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis (MRINEC) Algorithm

We developed a new magnetic resonance indicator for necrotizing fasciitis (MRINEC) algorithm for differentiating necrotizing fasciitis (NF) from severe cellulitis (SC). All adults with suspected NF between 2010 and 2018 in a tertiary hospital in South Korea were enrolled. Sixty-one patients were dia...
