Figure 6. This computed tomography scan of the chest illustrates an intramuscular abscess, as indicated by the arrow. The abscess is characterized by a localized collection of fluid within the muscle tissue, accompanied by the formation of gas, which appears as radiolucent areas within the abscess. The presence of gas within the abscess suggests a gas-producing bacterial infection, which can be indicative of a more aggressive or necrotizing infection.
