Purpose:
In this invited review, the main subtypes of commoner bone tumors will be reviewed. Background and general concepts on pathology and surgery will be given with magnetic resonance imaging features of bone tumors. TEXT: The main malignant bone tumors being: osteogenic sarcoma, Ewings sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma are reviewed. Malignant intra-articular tumors are mentioned. The differential diagnoses including tumor mimickers are also reviewed.
Conclusion:
Magnetic resonance imaging allows for basic anatomical review and characterization of tumor type for diagnosis, therapy monitoring, and preoperative planning. A team approach to tumor imaging and treatment is optimal.

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
