[Value of magnetic resonance tomography for diagnosis of bone tumors]. / Stellenwert der Magnetresonanztomographie für die Diagnostik von Knochentumoren.

ABSTRACT

Primary bone tumors are well investigated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Depending on the tumor site and localization the examination technique has to be tailored to the particular situation. Using MRI, the delineation of extraosseous tumor spread and the intramedullary extension of malignant bone tumors is superior as compared to other imaging modalities.
