Table 6 BONE TUMOUR DIAGNOSIS: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES
• The precise anatomical location of the lesion in the affected bone (ie epiphyseal, metaphyseal, diaphyseal, medullary, cortical, periosteal or extraosseous in location). |
|---|
• The size of the lesion |
• The matrix composition of the lesion • The nature of the zone of transition or interface between the lesion and surrounding bone. • The pattern of bone destruction |
• The presence or absence of infiltration of medullary bone. |
• The presence or absence of cortical destruction and soft tissue involvement |
• The nature of the periosteal reaction |
• The presence of multiple lesions within bone |
