Abstract:
Objective To study the imaging characteristics of osteosarcoma.Methods 35 patients with osteosarcoma proved pathologically were examined by radiography,of them 25 cases were examined with CT scan or MRI,and 8 cases undergone contrast-enhanced MRI.The imaging features of osteosarcoma were analysed comparatively with that of pathology.Results The lesions localized at distal part of femur in 17 cases and proximal part of tibia in 8 cases,that were most location of this tumor.The imaging characteristics of osteosarcoma included bone destruction,neoplastic bone,periosteal reaction and soft-tissue mass,in some cases,epiphyseal plate and epiphysis were involved,even the joint face and the opposite osseous of joint(skip lesions).On enhanced MR scanning,the margin of tumor was enhanced in early and the center of tumor was delayed enhancement.CT could showed "sieve sign"and small neoplastic bone.Conclusion Osteosarcoma has certain imaging characteristics;X-ray examination is the first choice in diagnosing osteosarcoma,CT and MR could provide much more comprehensive imaging information for clinic.
