# Low attenuation areas in necrotizing soft tissue infection

## TL;DR

This paper discusses how low attenuation areas in CT scans can help identify necrotizing soft tissue infections, which require urgent surgical treatment.

## Contribution

The study highlights the importance of early surgical intervention based on imaging characteristics of necrotizing infections.

## Key findings

- Low attenuation areas on CT scans are indicative of necrotizing soft tissue infections.
- Early surgical debridement is crucial for managing these infections.

## Abstract

Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infection can be challenging to differentiate from abscesses based on computed tomography imaging findings only, so it is crucial to perform surgical debridement as early as possible.
