Abstract

Accurate radiological diagnosis of bone tumors is based on a systematic and organized analysis of the clinical and radiographic features. Factors to be considered include clinical factors such as the age and gender of the patient, and radiographic factors of the lesion including location, biological activity, matrix mineralization, periosteal and endosteal reaction, and size and number of lesions. Each of these features is discussed and illustrated in detail in this chapter.
