Overview

Bone imaging encompasses the medical imaging techniques used to visualize skeletal structure, composition, and metabolic activity in order to detect, characterize, and monitor disease of the bones and joints. Modalities differ in the physical signal they exploit: conventional radiography and computed tomography render mineralized cortical and trabecular architecture with high spatial detail; magnetic resonance imaging depicts marrow, soft tissue, and pathological infiltration without ionizing radiation; and nuclear medicine techniques such as bone scintigraphy and positron emission tomography map osteoblastic activity and metabolic turnover. Together these approaches identify fractures, infection, tumors and metastases, degenerative and metabolic bone disease, and they guide surgical planning and assessment of graft or implant viability. Work relevant to this topic includes overviews of imaging modalities for evaluating bone allograft viability and comparative assessments of cone-beam computed tomography and orthopantomography in bone-augmentation procedures, alongside diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and emerging tissue-clearing methods that extend diagnostic capability. Selection of a modality balances spatial resolution, sensitivity to metabolic or marrow change, radiation exposure, and clinical question. By combining anatomical and functional information, bone imaging supports accurate diagnosis, staging, treatment planning, and longitudinal follow-up across orthopedic, oncologic, and reconstructive contexts.
