Imaging techniques are crucial for osteosarcoma diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Advanced methods like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging help define tumor extent and detect metastasis, with newer options emerging.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Osteosarcoma diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up rely on imaging.
  • Various imaging modalities are essential for assessing tumor extent and metastasis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of different imaging techniques in osteosarcoma management.
  • To highlight the importance of current and future imaging modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of plain roentgenography, radionuclide bone scanning, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Discussion of the utility of angiography and emerging techniques like positron emission tomography (PET).

Main Results:

  • Plain roentgenography, bone scanning, CT, and MRI are vital for defining local tumor extent, detecting metastatic disease, and monitoring recurrence.
