MRI can yield valuable information about involvement of bone and soft tissue by aggressive bone lesions of childhood. The 18 lesions evaluated with MRI included osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, histiocytosis, osteomyelitis, osteoblastoma, giant cell tumor, aneurysmal bone cyst, ossifying fibroma, and fibrous dysplasia. In 12 children, where CT correlation was available, MRI provided equal or more information than CT. Our study shows that MRI should be the modality of choice in the evaluation of aggressive bone lesions of childhood, after conventional radiography.
磁共振成像(MRI)能够提供有关儿童侵袭性骨病变累及骨骼和软组织的有价值信息。接受MRI评估的18处病变包括骨肉瘤、尤因肉瘤、组织细胞增多症、骨髓炎、骨母细胞瘤、巨细胞瘤、动脉瘤样骨囊肿、骨化性纤维瘤和骨纤维异常增殖症。在12名有CT对比资料的儿童中,MRI提供的信息与CT相当或更多。我们的研究表明,在儿童侵袭性骨病变的评估中,MRI应成为继传统X线摄影之后的首选检查方式。
