For the inexperienced interpreter of chest radiographs, the normal scapula can mimic some very common and potentially serious abnormalities. Failure to recognize this normal bony structure can lead to needless diagnostic work up and treatment. The potentially mimicked abnormalities fall into 3 major categories: lung parenchymal abnormalities, pleural abnormalities, and bone abnormalities. This report discusses scapula anatomy as it pertains to chest radiographic anatomy, and the reasons for misinterpretations, and shows examples of the scapula mimicking pathologic processes.
对于缺乏经验的胸部X光片解读人员来说，正常的肩胛骨可能会酷似一些非常常见且可能严重的异常情况。未能识别这种正常的骨骼结构可能会导致不必要的诊断检查和治疗。可能被酷似的异常情况可分为三大类：肺实质异常、胸膜异常和骨骼异常。本报告讨论了与胸部X光片解剖结构相关的肩胛骨解剖学、误判原因，并展示了肩胛骨酷似病理过程的示例。
