초록

Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD) values is determined numerically with T or Z-score while the image is not considered in the interpretation. Abnormal finding was observed in the left femoral bone density image of a 64-year-old female patient who underwent a left kidney transplantation. This was due to the ethiodized oil used for embolization in the treatment of lymphatic leakage. Radiologic technologists should not only monitor changes of BMD values, but keep in mind to assess the changes in the image to provide accurate information to the patient.
