title: Imaging of bone sarcomas.
abstract: Identification, staging, and treatment of bone sarcomas rely on both clinical and imaging evaluations. Although conventional radiography remains the primary imaging modality for characterizing bone tumors, bone scintigraphy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography can each add information for staging and treatment planning.
