[Roentgenomorphologic aspects of osseous lesions in thalassemia]

In bones two functionally different organs are closely mingled: osseous tissue and osseous hematopoietic system. In the work their interrelation and laws governing it are discussed. In cases of aggression toward osseous hematopoietic system osseous lesions, with their evolutive stages, are formed. Certain evolutive stages are so characteristic in their morphology that radiologic diagnosis of the illness can be made without any hesitation. The work also includes the authors' opinion on appearance of pseudotumorous structures on the paravertebral sections of the ribs.
