Oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel) is one of the most commonly used bioabsorbable topical hemostatic agents. Surgicel may mimic an abscess on both CT and sonography when a patient undergoes imaging early in the postoperative period. The objective of our study was to describe the appearance of Surgicel on postoperative MR imaging.
