X - ray features and diagnostic value of pathologic ossification

Objective: To analyse the X - ray features of pathologic ossification and evaluate the clinical value in X -ray diagnosis. Methods; X - ray features of 243 cases with pathologic ossification were analyzed retrospectively, and the conformation of it was studied. Results: In 243 cases, simple ossifications were found in 231 cases, which included 12 cases of ossification and calcification, 183 casesl83 cases of reactive ossification, 51 cases of ossification of tumor osteoid matrix, 13 cases of ossification of non - tumor osteoid matrix, and 1 case of special ossification. Each of them had special X -ray features. Conclusion: The different X- ray findings of ossification indicate different kinds of tissue which is very important in X - ray diagnosis.
