Abstract:
Several drugs can induce bone disorders. Steroid-induced osteoporosis is the best known of all drug-induced bone disorders. However, bone disorders have also been described in association with newer drugs (LH-RH analogs, retinoids, cyclosporine, etc.). The purpose of this revue is to familiarize radiologists with drug-induced bone disorders in order to achieve earlier diagnosis, hence, improve treatment.
