The Unfolded Infected Rib Rib Tuberculosis and CT Scan This is a 34-years old man with a swelling over the left anterior chest wall. The CT scan shows the collection as well as the osteolytic lesions of the ribs and the sclerosis, typical of an infection like tuberculosis. The unfolded rib image however puts it all in perspective. The osteolytic lesions and the sequestra with surrounding sclerosis involving 4th - 6th are just so much better appreciated. #tuberculosis #rib #ctscan #unfoldedrib (at Mumbai, India)
