title: [Magnetic resonance in the diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst].
abstract: A patient of 12 suffering from aneurysmal cyst of the ischium was studied with traditional radiology, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The advantages of MRI in the study of this pathology compared to traditional radiography and CT are assessed. It was shown that the CT and MRI techniques are superior to standard X-ray examinations in anatomic definition and in evaluating the lesions's relationships with neighbouring structures and, in particular, that MRI is superior to CT in extension.
