Chuanxing Qu MD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Cynthia Ann Britton MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

1.  Review the anatomy, physiology and function of the periosteum. 2.  Emphasize the importance of analysis of the periosteum on CR, as well as CT and MRI imaging, and its relationship to underlying osseous and metabolic disease processes which may impact clinical management.

1.  Discuss the anatomy, physiology and function of the periosteum. 2.  Present a method for systematic  analysis of the periosteum, in particular in CR imaging, as well as CT and MR, with regards to appearance, location within a particular osseous structure and distribution within the skeleton. 3.  Provide a differential based on the above analysis to permit identification of underlying osseous disease or identification of a more wide-spread metabolic process. Specifics examples of HPOA, SAPHO, thyroid acropachy, flucanazole-related periostitis, Ewings,osteosarcoma, metastatic disease and cortical-based osteoid osteoma will be demonstrated.
