Overview

Conventional radiography continues to play an important role in diagnosis. Typical appearances of conventional high grade osteosarcoma include:
Medullary and cortical bone destruction.
Aggressive periosteal reaction characterized by:

wide zone of transition, permeative or moth-eaten appearance
X-rays, which can show the location, size, and shape of a bone tumor. Even if x-rays suggest that an abnormal area is benign, especially if the patient is experiencing unusual or persistent pain.
