Incidental Musculoskeletal Lesions Detected on Abdominopelvic CT Scans: A Pictorial Essay

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Various musculoskeletal findings incidentally detected on abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) images have risen with the increasing use of abdominopelvic CT; however, it is not uncommon for radiologists to overlook the musculoskeletal system when they examine abdominopelvic CT images. Some musculoskeletal lesions may have more clinical significance than abdominopelvic lesions, although most lesions are of little to no significance. Many osseous lesions can be diagnosed using the bone window setting and reconstructed images. The purpose of this article was to review the wide variety of musculoskeletal lesions depicted on abdominopelvic CT images and to emphasize the use of the bone window setting.
