1 From the Department of Radiology and Imaging, Hospital for Special Surgery, 535 E 70th St, New York, NY 10021. Received June 15, 2006; revision requested August 7; revision received December 9, 2007; accepted February 9; final version accepted April 9; final review and update by the author, October 3. Address correspondence to the author (e-mail: millertt{at}hss.edu).
The approach to the radiographic diagnosis of bone tumors consists of analyzing the lesion in an organized fashion, with attention to the specific radiographic features of tumor location, margins, and zone of transition; periosteal reaction; mineralization; size and number of lesions; and presence of a soft-tissue component. Patient age is also an important clinical factor in the diagnosis of bone tumors, because various lesions have predilections for specific age groups.
