Ribs

Diagnosing Rib Diseases and Injuries with Advanced Imaging Techniques at RadCare

Ribs are an essential part of the human skeletal structure, providing protection for vital organs like the heart and lungs and supporting breathing movements. However, ribs may suffer from injuries or diseases that require proper diagnosis and treatment.

Common Rib Diseases and Injuries

1. Rib Fractures:

• Causes: Often result from direct trauma such as falls or accidents.
• Symptoms: Sharp pain during breathing or movement.

2. Stress Fractures:

• Causes: Arise from repetitive stress or intense physical activity, particularly in athletes.

3. Infections or Inflammations:

• Symptoms: Can cause pain and swelling in the surrounding tissues.

4. Tumors:

• Occurrence: Rare but possible; include benign and malignant tumors.
