Structural abnormalities refer to deviations from the typical or expected appearance or organization of bodily structures. This can include malformations, deformities, or anomalies in organs, tissues, bones, or other bodily structures. In the context of medical research, structural abnormalities are often studied to better understand their causes, effects, and potential treatments. Research in this area may involve imaging techniques such as MRI or CT scans, genetic analysis, and clinical observation to identify and characterize different types of structural abnormalities. This research is important for improving diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions associated with structural abnormalities, such as congenital birth defects, genetic disorders, and certain types of cancer.
