title: Radiology and diabetes mellitus.
abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major health concern globally, affecting almost every organ of the body. A major issue with DM is that a relatively large proportion of patients remain undiagnosed till the development of complications, many of which may cause permanent impairment. Therefore, early recognition of the radiological manifestations (of DM) is of utmost importance, so that the disease may be diagnosed and managed well in time. Some common and important radiological features encountered in practice are compiled in this article.
