The complications of injection drug use (IDU) can lead to a wide variety of clinical problems that range from complications localized to the injection site to more disseminated disease. The radiologic workup of these problems uses multiple modalities, depending on the location and type of problem to be investigated. This article discusses and illustrates some of the local and disseminated complications that can occur after IDU.
