Osteoma: Diagnostic Tests

Obligatory medical device diagnostics

  • Conventional radiograph of the affected body region, in two planes – to assess the extent of tumor growth; the osteoma presents shadowing and sharply circumscribed
  • Computed tomography (CT; cross-sectional imaging (radiographs taken from different directions with computer-based analysis)) – to determine the location, size, and extent of the tumor (bone destruction/destruction?)
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; computer-based cross-sectional imaging (using magnetic fields, i.e., without X-rays)) – for the purpose of determining the location, size, and extent of the tumor (soft tissue infiltration?)
