Explain why a combination of x-rays, ct scans, bone scans and mri scans is used when diagnosing bone cancer.

Many reasons are involved in this combination. First, as bone cancer is not easy to determine, doctors may have to use biopsy to have a first look, but it needs to be paired with x rays and different scnas to confirm and do it more acurately. Some bone infection may cause symptoms and imaging results that could be confused with bone cancer.Have in mind that bone metastases can usually be diagnosed based on x-rays and other imaging tests.A combination of all the scans and X rays can help to detect bone cancer in different places of the body, as every method can show tumors in specific parts of the skeleton.
