- Abstract:
- BACKGROUND: In the diagnosis of bone and soft-tissue sarcomas, the continuous advancement of various imaging modalities has improved the detection of small lesions, surgical planning, assessment of chemotherapeutic effects, and, importantly, guidance for surgery or biopsy. METHOD: This review was composed based on a PubMed literature search for the terms "bone sarcoma," "bone cancer" and "soft tissue sarcoma," "imaging," "magnetic resonance imaging", "computed tomography", "ultrasound", "radiography", and "radiomics" covering the publication period 2005-2020. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: As discussed in this review, radiography, ultrasound, CT, and MRI all play key roles in the imaging evaluation of bone and soft-tissue sarcomas. In daily practice, advanced MRI techniques complement standard MRI but remain underused, as they are considered time-consuming, technically challenging, and not reliable enough to replace biopsy and histology. PET/MRI and radiomics have shown promise regarding the imaging of sarcomas in the future. KEY POINTS: · Radiographs remain crucial in diagnostic imaging algorithms for sarcomas.. · US is an initial imaging study for the evaluation of superficial soft-tissue tumors.. · The role of CT continues to evolve as new techniques emerge.. · MRI allows the noninvasive evaluation of soft-tissue, osseous, and articular structures.. · Machine learning methods could improve personalized selection of therapy for patients with sarcoma..
