Abstract

Ekspanzivni procesi u osteomuskularnom sustavu odnose se na patološke promjene koje dovode do povećanja volumena ili prostornog pritiska unutar kostiju, mišića ili drugih struktura koje su povezane s mišićno-koštanim sustavom. Ovi procesi mogu biti benigni ili maligni te uključuju različite vrste tumora, ciste ili upalne promjene. Tumori također mogu biti primarni (nastaju unutar kosti/mekog tkiva) i sekundarni (metastatski). U ovom diplomskom radu navesti ćemo klasifikaciju tumora kostiju i mekog tkiva i opisati neke njihove karakteristike. Nakon toga su opisane radiološke metode prikaza tumora osteomuskularnog sustava. Radiološka evaluacija tumora osteomuskularnog sustava uključuje multimodalni pristup, prilikom čega svaki od modaliteta pruža jedinstvene dijagnostičke uvide. RTG je početna dijagnostička metoda procjene tumora osteomuskularnog sustava, a daljnji izbor radiološke metode određuje se na temelju RTG snimke, povijesti bolesti pacijenta, nalaza fizikalnog pregleda i lokacije lezije. Nakon obične radiografije slijede tehnike snimanja presjeka kao što su kompjutorizirana tomografija (CT) ili magnetska rezonancija (MR). Dodatno, scintigrafija nuklearne medicine, ultrazvuk i pozitronska emisijska tomografija (PET) mogu se koristiti zajedno s početnom evaluacijom ili nakon nje. MR je preferirana metoda za snimanje tumora mekih tkiva, dok se i CT i MR koriste za procjenu opsega tumora kostiju.

Abstract (english)

Expansive processes in the musculoskeletal system refer to pathological changes that lead to an increase in volume or spatial pressure within bones, muscles, or other structures associated with the musculoskeletal system. These processes can be benign or malignant and include various types of tumors, cysts, or inflammatory changes. Tumors can also be primary (originating within bone/soft tissue) or secondary (metastatic). In this thesis, we will present the classification of bone and soft tissue tumors and describe some of their characteristics. Following this, we will describe the radiological methods used to image tumors of the musculoskeletal system. Radiological evaluation of musculoskeletal system tumors involves a multimodal approach, with each modality providing unique diagnostic insights. X-ray is the initial diagnostic method for assessing musculoskeletal system tumors, and the subsequent choice of radiological method is determined based on the X-ray image, the patient's medical history, physical examination findings, and the lesion's location. Following plain radiography, cross-sectional imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used. Additionally, nuclear medicine scintigraphy, ultrasound, and positron emission tomography (PET) can be utilized in conjunction with or following the initial evaluation. MRI is the preferred method for imaging soft tissue tumors, while both CT and MRI are used to assess the extent of bone tumors.
