MRI of the left foot. Gadolinium contrast-enhanced axial T1-weighted MRI sequence (a), together with axial, sagittal, and coronal T1-weighted MRI sequences with fat suppression (b, c, and d, respectively), showing a diaphyseal fracture of the second metatarsal (open arrows) and extensive fluid collection with peripheral contrast enhancement of the surrounding tissue, indicating an abscess (arrows). Note the bone marrow enhancement, suggestive of osteomyelitis, in the second metatarsal (asterisks).
