Abstract
The penumbra sign is a characteristic magnetic resonance (MR) feature of subacute osteomyelitis. It can be identified on unenhanced T1-weighted spin echo images as a discrete peripheral zone of marginally higher signal intensity than the central bony abscess cavity and the surrounding lower signal intensity of the reactive new bone and oedema.
