Diabetes revealed: multisystem danger.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this article is to review the role of diagnostic imaging in the evaluation of women with diabetes.


CONCLUSIONS
Diabetic patients present a challenging population for the performance of various imaging studies and special considerations need to be made to obtain adequate studies. Imaging plays a significant role in assessing the multisystem morbidity of diabetes. Furthermore, diabetes in women may have some unique features and consequences and imaging studies can aid in the correct management of these patients.
