*'''A computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan''', which is a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body, taken from different angles, that are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine.
*The role of CT scan in osteosarcoma is predominantly in assisting biopsy and staging, but adds little to plain radiography and MRI in direct assessment of the tumor.
*The exception to this rule is predominantly lytic lesions in which small amounts of mineralised material may be inapparent on both plain film and MRI.
