MR imaging in staging of bone tumors
Abstract
For staging of bone tumors, TNM and Enneking's systems are used
with some differences. Magnetic resonance imaging is
particularly useful for defining the extent of high-grade
tumors, including transcortical and intertrabecular infiltration
and periosteal extension. The concepts of compartment and
curative surgical margins are important for bone tumor staging.
