As an academic in orthopaedic surgery, the first step in evaluate a bone
tumor is a plain x-ray.
A plain x-ray can give you enough information to have diagnosis. If you have
age, site and x - ray you have a lot.
Of course a CTscan, MRI are helpful, but is more convenience start form the
beginning and not for middle.
Regards.

fortunately plain xrays are not available now but MRI shows abnormal signal
