摘要：
Objective. To determine the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of eosinophilic fasciitis (EF), selection of appropriate biopsy site, and followup of treatment. Methods. MRI was used to examine 2 patients with EF at the time of their initial clinical presentation and after several months of treatment. T2-weighted axial, T2-weighted axial with fat saturation, and T1-weighted axial post-gadolinium with fat saturation scans at 1.5T were obtained. Results. MRI demonstrated hyperintensity within the fascia. This defect resolved with treatment and clinical improvement. Conclusion. MRI is a useful noninvasive tool for diagnosing EF and for monitoring the effectiveness of therapy.
