Lecture 6: Principles of musculoskeletal image interpretation: aggressive vs nonaggressive bone lesions Flashcards
Which image is aggressive vs non-aggressive and why
Left- aggressive- lysis, periosteal reactions, polyostotic
Right: non-aggressive- proliferation but not lytic
what are some causes of aggressive bone lesions
- Primary bone neoplasia
- Primary soft tissue neoplasia
- Metastatic bone neoplasia
- Bacterial osteomyelitis
- Fungal osteomyelitis
what are some signs of aggressive bone lesions
- Bone lysis
- Periosteal reaction
- Rate of progression
- Zone of transition
- Cortical lysis
is this an aggressive or non-aggressive lesion. Identify 1-2
aggressive
1. Bone lysis
2. Periosteal reaction
what is degree of bone lysis called
progression
What wrong- aggressive or nonaggressive
bone lysis- aggressive
what are the two types of periosteal reactions
continuous and interrupted
what can cause a continuous periosteal reaction
callus, slow growing neoplasia
what can cause an interrupted periosteal reaction
neoplasia, osteomyelitis
which is more aggressive: continuous or interrupted periosteal reactions
interrupted because likely neoplasia or osteomyelitis
what type of periosteal reaction is this
continuous periosteal reaction
what type of periosteal reaction is this
Interrupted
the faster the progression = more ___
aggressive
a regular, distinct margin zone of transition means the lesion is aggressive or non-aggressive
non-aggressive
an irregular, indistinct margin zone of transition means the lesion is non-aggressive or aggressive
aggressive
Is cortical lysis aggressive or non-aggressive
aggressive
