Summary

Osteosarcoma, a common bone cancer, is best detected using conventional radiography, with bone scintigraphy and MRI aiding in diagnosing subtle cases. Imaging is crucial for staging, surgical planning, and monitoring recurrence or metastasis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor, with diverse subtypes arising within or on the bone surface.
  • Accurate diagnosis and staging are critical for effective management and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of imaging in the diagnosis and management of various osteosarcoma subtypes.
  • To highlight the key imaging features that aid in distinguishing osteosarcoma from other bone conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging features from over 750 osteosarcoma cases treated at a single center.
  • Analysis of conventional radiography, bone scintigraphy, MRI, and CT imaging.

Main Results:

  • Conventional radiography remains the primary detection tool for osteosarcoma.
  • MRI is essential for surgical staging, assessing tumor extent, and detecting skip metastases.
  • Bone scintigraphy and CT scans are vital for staging, identifying multiple lesions, and detecting pulmonary metastases.

Conclusions:

  • Radiological diagnosis relies on careful analysis of bone destruction, periosteal reaction, and matrix mineralization.
  • Imaging plays a critical role throughout the patient journey, from initial detection and staging to post-surgical follow-up for recurrence and metastasis.
