BACKGROUND: musculoskeletal tumors requires a multimodality approach for diagnosis,management and

follow-up. It includes radiography, computed tomography (C T ), magnetic resonance imaging

(MRI),ultrasonography ,PET-CT scan

OBJECTIVE : To evaluate the effectivness of CT in accuracy of diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal tumors.

METHODS: Prospective stuy of bone and soft-tissue tumors with radiography and CT scan .

RESULTS: 40 cases was studied out of which 30 cases of bone tumours and 10 cases of soft –tissue tumours , including both benign and

malignant masses.

CONCLUSIONS: Conventional radiography and CT scan imaging techniques can provide noninvasive methods to diagnosis, evaluation and

surgical managements musculoskeletal tumors.
