  • Title: [Value of x-ray computed tomography in osteoid osteoma].
    Author: Vicens JL, Aubspin D, Buchon R, Schoenenberger P, Flageat J.
    Journal: Ann Radiol (Paris); 1989; 32(6):467-71. PubMed ID: 2633675.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of suspected osteoid osteoma were evaluated by computed tomography (CT). The authors relate the role of CT. As a key diagnostic tool: radionuclide imaging is helpful in directing subsequent CT scans, which allows the study of complex anatomical sites (spine) or the analysis of atypical lesions (invisible nidus, sclerosis or lytic lesions, double nidus...). CT provides the surgeon with the exact location and extent of the lesion, and thus, CT may allow a more limited surgical resection of the involved bone.
