- Abstract
A variety of imaging modalities are currently used for the preoperative evaluation of cartilage tumors. Although the anatomic details of the lesions are demonstrated well on computerized tomography and magnetic resonance images, those studies yield little information about the biologic activity of the tumors. In this study, we investigated the glucose metabolism of cartilage tumors measured by positron emission tomography and its correlation with histopathologic grades.
