Radiologic evaluation of the patient with soft tissue sarcoma may include conventional radiography, scintigraphy, ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The radiologist also plays a critical role in the evaluation of the patient with soft tissue sarcoma by guiding and performing aspiration biopsies. This review discusses the use of radiological techniques to evaluate the primary lesion and to detect recurrences. In adults, soft tissue sarcoma most commonly occurs in the extremities, and this review emphasizes the role of MR imaging in the pre- and post-treatment evaluation of extremity soft tissue sarcomas. The role of imaging studies in the evaluation of soft tissue sarcomas in the abdomen, thorax, and the head and neck region is also discussed.
软组织肉瘤患者的放射学评估可能包括传统放射摄影、闪烁扫描、超声检查（US）、计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振（MR）成像。放射科医生在软组织肉瘤患者的评估中也起着关键作用，通过指导和进行穿刺活检。本综述讨论了使用放射学技术评估原发性病变和检测复发情况。在成年人中，软组织肉瘤最常见于四肢，本综述强调了MR成像在四肢软组织肉瘤治疗前和治疗后评估中的作用。还讨论了影像学研究在腹部、胸部以及头颈部软组织肉瘤评估中的作用。
