Radiologists serve an important role in the diagnosis and staging of soft tissue tumors, often through participation in multidisciplinary tumor board teams. While an important function of the radiologist is to review pertinent imaging and assist in the differential diagnosis, a critical role is to ensure that there is concordance between the imaging and the pathologic diagnosis. This requires a basic understanding of the pathology of soft tissue tumors, particularly in the case of diagnostic dilemmas or incongruent imaging and histologic features. This work is intended to provide an overview of soft tissue pathology for the radiologist to optimize participation in multidisciplinary orthopedic oncology tumor boards, allowing for contribution to management decisions with expertise beyond image interpretation.
放射科医生在软组织肿瘤的诊断和分期中发挥着重要作用，通常通过参与多学科肿瘤委员会团队来实现。虽然放射科医生的一个重要职能是审查相关的影像学检查并协助鉴别诊断，但他们的关键作用还在于确保影像学检查和病理诊断之间的一致性。这需要对软组织肿瘤的病理学有基本的了解，特别是在存在诊断难题或影像学与组织学特征不一致的情况下。这项工作旨在为放射科医生提供软组织病理学概述，以优化他们在多学科骨科肿瘤委员会中的参与，使他们能够凭借影像学解读以外的专业知识为管理决策做出贡献。
