[Computed tomography and magnetic resonance tomography in cases of pelvic tumors unconnected with organs].
Computed tomography (CT) will remain the method of choice in cases of parapelvic masses. It allows to identify the extent and the relationship of the mass to the neighbouring structures. Some cases serve to point out the utility of CT in demonstrating findings useful in distinguishing various types of tumours. MRT is compared to CT in visualizing the contrast between tumour and bone marrow as well as surrounding soft tissues, especially muscle. Furthermore, MRT may be helpful in early detection of the cartilage cap of an osseous mass and tumour recurrence.
