Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor. <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT is useful for staging, detecting recurrence, monitoring response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and predicting prognosis. Here, we review the clinical aspects of osteosarcoma management and assess the role of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT, in particular with regard to pediatric and young adult patients.
