    Summary

    Radiologists must document anatomical variations that mimic diseases to prevent misdiagnosis. This atlas aids in identifying normal variants that could otherwise lead to unnecessary investigations.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Anatomy
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Human anatomy exhibits significant inter-individual and intra-individual variations.
    • While many variations are benign, some can be mistaken for pathological conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document and illustrate normal anatomical variants that simulate disease.
    • To reduce diagnostic errors and unnecessary investigations in radiology.

    Main Methods:

    • Compilation of a visual atlas of anatomical variants encountered in daily radiological practice.
    • Collection of examples submitted by other radiologists.

    Main Results:

    • Presentation of a curated collection of normal variants that pose diagnostic challenges.
    • Demonstration of entities that have previously caused concern and required documentation.

    Conclusions:

    • Familiarity with these variants is crucial for experienced radiologists.
    • Documentation and recognition of these variants aid in accurate radiological interpretation.
