Q1 · Osteosarcoma
NEET PGHardExplanation
A 'sunburst' or 'sunray' periosteal reaction with Codman's triangle, the elevated periosteum, are classic radiographic features of osteosarcoma, most commonly around the knee in adolescents. Ewing sarcoma instead shows a lamellated 'onion-skin' reaction.
Q2 · Ewing Sarcoma
HardExplanation
An 'onion-skin' lamellated periosteal reaction, typically in the diaphysis, is characteristic of Ewing sarcoma. This contrasts with the sunburst pattern of osteosarcoma, which usually arises at the metaphysis.
Q3 · Osteoarthritis
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Osteoarthritis shows joint space narrowing, osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis, and subchondral cysts — the mnemonic LOSS: Loss of joint space, Osteophytes, Subchondral cysts, Subchondral sclerosis. Rheumatoid arthritis instead shows periarticular osteopenia and erosions.
Q4 · Scaphoid Imaging
MediumExplanation
Scaphoid fractures are often not visible on the initial X-ray. With clinical suspicion, such as anatomical snuffbox tenderness, the wrist is immobilised and imaging repeated in 10 to 14 days, or MRI is used, because a missed fracture risks avascular necrosis and non-union.
Q5 · Bone Metastases
MediumExplanation
Prostate cancer classically causes osteoblastic, sclerotic, dense white bone metastases. Renal and thyroid cancers typically cause osteolytic lesions. Breast and lung cancers can produce mixed patterns.
Q6 · Stress Fracture Imaging
HardExplanation
Early stress fractures are often invisible on the initial plain X-ray. MRI, or a bone scan, is far more sensitive, detecting bone marrow oedema before cortical changes appear. MRI is generally preferred as it avoids radiation and gives anatomical detail.
Musculoskeletal sits within Radiology, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 6 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 3 of them at Hard, and 2 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Musculoskeletal marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Radiology examiners keep returning to.
