Noticed A Spot Just Below The Left Rib Towards Back At The Bone Density Test
I had a bone density test and the technician told me that she saw a spot just below my left rib cage but towards the back. She said that it was not there 2 years ago when I had my last test. I had been hit by a car and fractured my pelvis 8 weeks prior to the test. Could it be something from the accident?

Hi
It's unlikely.the shadow may be an artefact unless the radiologists opine it real.
Show to a orthopaedic doctor to assess by examination
It can be a simple bone cyst.
Thanks
