The authors report their experience with MR imaging in the study of osteosarcoma. Two main elements were evaluated: signal characteristics and loco-regional staging. Seventy-one patients were studied: 65 of them had central long-bone osteosarcoma, and 6 had telangiectatic long-bone osteosarcoma. T1- and T2-weighted spin-echo sequences were employed and all cases were scanned on 3 planes (sagittal, coronal, and axial). In 28 patients MR imaging was performed both before and after preoperative chemotherapy. The obtained data were compared to surgical and pathological findings. With the exception of the typical signal patterns of quite-osteoblastic osteosarcoma (which presents with low signal on both T1- and T2-weighted sequences), no particular signal features were observed which could help distinguish the different types of osteosarcoma. MR imaging is the method of choice in loco-regional staging for, in our series, it allowed a rational and adequate surgical planning. For this purpose, at least a longitudinal T1- and an axial T2-weighted images are required.
