1. To review the most common MSK complications of solid organ transplantation, their pathophysiology and epidemiology. 2. To discuss the key imaging findings in common MSK complications of solid organ transplantation recipients. 3. To explain the utility of various imaging modalities (e.g. DXA, radiographs, CT, bone scintigraphy and MR) in the diagnosis of these complications. 4. Illustrate the utility of the various imaging modalities through the presentation of example cases.
