Summary Introduction
To explain:
The imaging techniques that would be best to determine whether a tumor exists and which technique would be inadequate for determining the placement of the tumor.
Concept introduction:
Healthcare professionals use sophisticated medical imaging techniques to visualize the structures of the internal body. Some common techniques include sonography, radiography, dynamic spatial reconstruction, computed tomography, digital subtraction angiography, positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Judy J. was first diagnosed at age 14 with an inoperable cancer. Specialists anticipated that she would not live to celebrate her 17th birthday, but conceded that it was possible, though unlikely, that she could live to her 21st birthday. The treatment options proposed are both painful and debilitating and there is no guarantee of additional years of life even if the more aggressive therapy is undertaken. In the alternative, palliative and comfort care measures will ease the symptoms, and Judy is projected to have a better quality, if not quantity of life.
Judy's parents are torn between the decision of opting for more "humane" therapies that will keep their daughter comfortable in her final days or opting for the aggressive therapy that will hopefully ensure that their daughter will have an extended lifespan. They also feel that Judy, who is an excellent student and has many friends, should have some decision in what is finally decided.

Attempts at closed reduction are unsuccessful; consequently, the young man is taken into surgery. At
the completion of the procedure, the orthopedic surgeon talks with the family. The repair was more
extensive than they had initially expected. Near the site of the break, a tumor was found. Based on the
young man's age, it is most likely that the tumor is:
5. Collagen-forming
6. Myeloma-forming
7. Bone-forming
8. Cartilage-forming
The CT scan reveals a tumor of the lung and a biopsy (removal of tissue for examination) is scheduled. Define cancer and the TNM and Roman Numeral classification system that will be used to describe the tumor. (The use of diagrams is recommended. Be sure to include your sources).
