Abstract
Thorough evaluation of the musculoskeletal system on PET/CT requires a fund of specialized knowledge and the use of musculoskeletal-oriented viewing techniques. The study of musculoskeletal pitfalls introduces many subspecialty-specific topics and provides instruction in the methods necessary for optimal evaluation of the musculoskeletal system when interpreting PET/CT. This article reviews musculoskeletal pitfalls in PET/CT. On completion, reviewers should have an improved ability to evaluate the musculoskeletal system on PET/CT.
