MR imaging of tumors and tumor-like lesions of the upper extremity.
Many tumor and tumor-like lesions of the bone and soft tissues may involve the upper extremity. Certain lesions, however, are unique to this location. As is usually the case, MR is most sensitive to detection and most accurate in depicting the extent of involvement of these lesions. MR signal characteristics may aid in differential diagnosis. Conventional radiographs are often more specific in regard to the underlying histopathology.
