Invasive procedures of the chest in radiology require anatomical awareness of variations in thoracic rib anomalies. The "sloping rib" is a descriptive term the authors use to describe an entity that may present a problem when attempting to remove fluid from the pleural space and/or tissue from the lung. The anomaly has been observed in muscle-wasting disorders, severe osteoporosis, metabolic diseases, and in idiopathic scoliosis of the thoracic spine. The significance to patient care and diagnosis will be discussed.

放射学中胸部的侵入性操作需要对胸廓肋骨异常的变异有解剖学认识。“倾斜肋骨”是作者用来描述一种在试图从胸腔积液和/或肺部组织中抽取液体时可能会出现问题的实体的描述性术语。这种异常在肌肉萎缩性疾病、严重骨质疏松症、代谢性疾病以及胸椎特发性脊柱侧弯中均有观察到。将讨论其对患者护理和诊断的意义。
