.What are the useful imaging finding in primary bone tumors?

  1. Plain radiographs can often predict the probable histology of a potentially malignant bone lesion
  2. MRI is the imaging procedure of choice to evaluate primary bone tumors.
  3. MRI is invaluable in surgical planning as it demonstrates the intraosseus and soft tissue involvement of the tumor and tumor extension.
  4. MRI is also helpful in evaluating possible malignant degeneration of osteochondromas by allowing accurate measurements of the cartilage cap.
  5. CT scans are generally less useful than MRI for assessing primary bone tumors.
    6.CT is helpful in defining the integrity of the cortex and distribution of calcification.
