BONE TUMOUR DIAGNOSIS: RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES

• The precise anatomical location of the lesion in the affected bone (ie epiphyseal, metaphyseal, diaphyseal, medullary, cortical, periosteal or extraosseous in location).

• The size of the lesion

• The matrix composition of the lesion • The nature of the zone of transition or interface between the lesion and surrounding bone. • The pattern of bone destruction

• The presence or absence of infiltration of medullary bone.

• The presence or absence of cortical destruction and soft tissue involvement

• The nature of the periosteal reaction

• The presence of multiple lesions within bone
