Overview
X Ray
- Conventional radiography continues to play an important role in diagnosis. Typical appearances of conventional high grade osteosarcoma include:
- Medullary and cortical bone destruction.
- wide zone of transition, permeative or moth-eaten appearance
- X-rays, which can show the location, size, and shape of a bone tumor. If x-rays suggest that an abnormal area may be cancer, the doctor is likely to recommend special imaging tests. Even if x-rays suggest that an abnormal area is benign, the doctor may want to do further tests, especially if the patient is experiencing unusual or persistent pain.
