Whole-body PET/MRI of Pediatric Patients: The Details That Matter
Published on: December 19, 2017
Abstract:
Primary bone tumors are the sixth most common type of tumor diagnosed in children. When evaluating bone lesions, specific characteristics-tumor margin, pattern of bone destruction, periosteal reaction, presence or absence of soft tissue mass, lesion location, and type of matrix present-must be considered to distinguish between benign and malignant tumors. Radiography is the most valuable diagnostic tool for initial diagnosis of bone tumors; however, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are vital for establishing tumor invasion and staging of malignant lesions.

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...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
