Title: The clinical values of the DR,CT and MRI in the image diagnosis of bone tumors
Abstract: Objective To investigate clinical values of the DR,CT and MRI in the diagnosis of bone tumors. Methods 45 patients with bone tumors treated from November 2010 to February 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them,45 cases underwent DR,35 cases CT,and 21 MRI. Results DR and CT showed similar effect on bone destruction,proliferation,hardening and lesions on the boundary,but DR was not as good as CT on imaging spine,skull and pelvis lesions. The later ‘s needle-like lesions and soft tissue shadow were more obvious. DR was best on imaging periosteal reaction,MRI was most specific on imaging bone marrow edema and soft tissue mass,but its display of bone destruction,proliferation,hardened,calcified plaque and other aspects were the worst. Conclusions DR was still preferred in the clinical diagnosis of bone tumors. CT could show the extent of the tumor and the fine structure,and MRI took advantage in imaging soft tissue and spinal cord edema. The choice depended on specific situations.
