Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to review several thoracic conditions that are associated with certain musculoskeletal radiological abnormalities using imaging of patients with concomitant chest and musculoskeletal manifestations as illustrative examples.
CONCLUSION. Radiologic findings of many thoracic diseases are often nonspecific. When standing alone, their interpretation commonly results in long differential diagnosis. However, in certain instances, a reasonably accurate diagnosis can be made based on imaging findings alone.
