Proceedings of the SRBR-KBVR osteoarticular section meeting of June 29, 2004 in Antwerp. The variable imaging appearance of osteosarcoma.
The purpose of this brief review is to give an overview of the different imaging features of the various types of osteosarcoma, based on their macroscopic location within the musculoskeletal system. Further subdivision can be made by histological criteria and/or more specific location. Standard radiographic features allowing their differentiation will be highlighted. The value of cross-sectional imaging in the pre-operative staging, assessment of local extension, monitoring of response to treatment and guiding biopsy will be emphasized as well.
