title: Non-infectious manifestations of stem cell transplantation.
abstract: Stem cell transplantation (SCT) is now commonplace within medical practice. With growth in transplant activities, outcomes are likely to continue to improve. Increasing numbers of the population now face life after transplantation. The aetiology of post transplant complications is multifactorial. Background knowledge of SCT and common, radiographically detectable, non-infective complications are important in everyday clinical practice. A review of these complications using a variety of imaging modalities is presented and the process of SCT briefly described. Tumour recurrence is outside the remit of this review.
