Osteoblastoma is an infrequent but important cause of pain in the back and neurological findings in children and young adults. Its diagnosis may be difficult and often delayed (in one series, 23% of patients had not been diagnosed after 2 years of symptoms). MRI may be useful to noninvasively image the lesion, its soft tissue and bony extent and its relationship, if any, to the spinal cord.
骨母细胞瘤是儿童和青年背痛及神经学表现的一种少见但重要的病因。其诊断可能困难且常被延误（在一项研究中，23%的患者在出现症状2年后仍未得到诊断）。磁共振成像（MRI）对于无创性显示病变、其软组织和骨质范围以及它与脊髓的关系（如有）可能有用。
