Radiology1- Bone and Joint Dz

  1. What are the bone responses to disease? (4)
    • destruction (lysis)
    • production/ proliferation
    • change in architecture
    • normal radiographic appearance
  2. What characteristics do you look at when trying to determine if bone disease is aggressive or non-aggressive? (3)
    • cortical destruction
    • type of periosteal reaction
    • zone of transition
  3. What characteristics point to aggressive bone disease? (5)
    • cortical destruction
    • active periosteal reaction
    • non-distinct zone of transition
    • changes over time
    • type of lysis
  4. What radiographic findings point to non-aggressive bone disease? (3)
    • no cortical destruction OR expansion of cortex without destruction
    • no periosteal reaction or smooth periosteum
    • distinct zone of transition
  5. What are they types of lysis? Describe each. (3)
    • geographic: well defined borders, least aggressive
    • moth eaten: patchy, arge areas and small areas, very aggressive
    • permeative: least defined, spreading to surrounding areas, very aggressive
  6. What are types of periosteal reaction? (4)
    • smooth, solid- can be benign
    • lamellar/ multilayered- can be benign
    • active/ irregular- palisading/ spiculated/ columnar, sunburst, amorphous- very aggressive
    • codman's triangle- periosteal elevation, lifting the periosteum off the bone, usually seen with aggressive lesions
  7. What are causes of aggressive bone lesions? (3)
    • infection: bacterial, fungal
    • malignant neoplasia: primary, metastatic, multicentric
    • immune-mediated: joints
  8. Primary bone neoplasia is usually in the _________; metastatic malignant neoplasia in the bone is usually seen in the __________.
    metaphysis; diaphysis
  9. Fungal aggressive bone lesions are usually found in the _________ and are usually __________.
    metaphysis; polyostotic
  10. What are some causes of non-aggressive bone lesions? (4)
    • degenerative joint dz
    • bone cysts
    • benign neoplasia
    • fractures
  11. What are the predilection sites for osteosarc in dogs?
    • Most common: proximal humerus, distal radius
    • Also: proximal femur, distal tibia
  12. What are risk factors for osteosarcoma? (3)
    infarcts, surgical implants, trauma
  13. What are examples of primary malignant neoplasias of bone? (7)
    osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, lymphosarcoma, multilobular (osteochondrosarcoma), histiocystic sarcoma
  14. What are examples of primary joint malignant neoplasias?(2)
    histiocytic sarcoma, synovial cell sarcoma
  15. What type of metastatic tumor loves to met to bone?
    urogenital neoplasia- TCC
  16. How does osteomyelitis start?
    • bacterial: direct innoculation (surgery, surgical implants), hematogenous spread, sequestrum
    • fungal: hematogenous
    • protozoal: migration- very uncommon
  17. _______ can commonly lead to discospondylitis.
    Urinary tract infection
  18. When is an involucrum?
    the sclerotic area surrounding the lucent area surrounding a sequestrum
  19. Describe the progression of discospondylitis radiographically.
    disc space gets wide first w/ lysis of end plates; then more chronically, disc space collapses w/ proliferation
  20. What are causes of immune-mediate erosive arthropathy? (3)
    • Dogs- rheumatoid
    • cats- feline erosive polyarthropathy
    • neoplasia- histiocytic sarcoma, synovial cell sarcoma
  21. What are the major causes of erosive arthropathy? (2)
    • neoplasia
    • immune mediated dz
  22. What are causes of non-erosive arthropathies? (2)
    immune mediated, SLE
  23. Describe hypertrophic osteopathy.
    space occupying mass in thorax or in cranial abdomen—> causes palisading periosteal reaction, esp on digits 2 and 5 and on the long bones; usually doesn’t cross the joint but is found on the adjacent bones; if you see this, go immediately to chest and abdomen rads
  24. What are causes of non-aggressive lesions in the  bones and joint(s)? (10)
    • benign neoplasia- osteoma, osteochondroma (happens in degenerative joints), enchondroma
    • bone cysts
    • multiple cartilagenous exotoses
    • DJD
    • hyperparathyroidism
    • rickets (Vit D deficiency)
    • hypervitaminosis A
    • disorders of cartilage growth- OCD
    • dysplasia (hip, elbow)
    • genetic disorders- osteogenesis imperfecta, mucopolysaccharidosis
