concentrating/evaluating/diagnosing soft
tissue pathology shown on spinal and pelvic
radiographs.
• There are numerous findings involving the
osseous structures, but those will not be the
focus of this lecture.

Diagnosis
• Since the radiopacity is anterior to the spine,
the radiopacity is not within the kidney (and
not retroperitoneal in location)
– Anatomically, the kidneys are retroperitoneal in
location.
• Diagnosis: Gallstone (cholelithiasis)

study
outlines the
small bowel
nicely but

• Standard advanced imaging is triple phase bone scan
with Tc 99M MDP
– early detection early as two weeks after injury.
• Biopsy leads to false positive diagnosis of
osteosarcoma
• CT can detect calcifications within the soft tissue
earlier than xrays.
• MRI is not helpful
• MSK Ultrasound can be performed.
