#1. This 84-cm tall 40-year-old man underwent whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. What is the diagnosis?
The image demonstrates scoliosis, a radial orthopedic rod, and fragmentation of the epiphyseal growth plates consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta.
#2. What is the diagnosis?
The finding of bilateral multiple cavitary lesions with air fluid levels is most consistent with multiple pulmonary bacterial abscesses.
