Abstract

Much of the use of imaging in the detection, diagnosis and management of bone and soft tissue tumours relies on evaluation of morphological changes. There are, however, a number of situations where particular measurements derived from different imaging techniques can be of considerable value in predicting fracture risk, planning surgery and assessing response to treatment. The purpose of this chapter is to review these different applications.
