Radiological Diagnosis of Soft Tissue Tumors in Adults: MRI Imaging of Selected Entities Delineating Benign and Malignant Tumors

Abstract

Objective MRI is the most important and sensitive imaging modality in the differentiation of unclear soft tissue tumors. A systematic approach helps to narrow down the large number of possible differential diagnoses. Method Our review systematically compares MRI characteristics of the major soft-tissue masses and aims to gain access to these often difficult tumor entities. Results and conclusion MRI, as the most important modality in the imaging of soft tissue tumors, allows a more detailed classification of the tumor entity and in many cases a differentiation between benign and malignant masses.
