4 Fig 3 SI in MRI T2-weighted images in the affected forearm (B) and the upper arm (C) with the corresponding control limbs (A and D). Upper images: increased SI in the (B) affected forearm in the subcutaneous tissue area visualizing a “honeycomb pattern.” (B) There is also skin edema. (A) The control limb. Lower images: increased SI in the (C) affected upper arm in the subcutaneous tissue area and (C) a considerable skin edema. (D) The control limb.
