Original description
The goal of this exploratory interventional study aims to evaluate the performance of "pseudo-scanner" MRI sequences in delineating the tumor extent within bone sarcomas and its ability to serve as a reference for designing cutting guides and enabling "navigation" during the surgical procedure, thus exploring the possibility of replacing the scanner to minimize exposure to ionizing radiation in patients with sarcoma.Read full original descriptionShow less

Bone Arches: Performance of Pseudo-scanner Sequences in Segmenting the Extent of the Tumour and in Planning Surgical Resection Using the CT Scan as a Reference

The goal of this exploratory interventional study aims to evaluate the performance of "pseudo-scanner" MRI sequences in delineating the tumor extent within bone sarcomas and its ability to serve as a reference for designing cutting guides and enabling "navigation" during the surgical procedure, thus exploring the possibility of replacing the scanner to minimize exposure to ionizing radiation in patients with sarcoma.

Inclusion: diagnosis of bone sarcoma with surgical indication.

Exclusion: Implanted material incompatible with MRI; Severe claustrophobia; Pregnant women.
