Soft-tissue sarcomas are encountered only infrequently, but their diagnosis is important because the long-term prognosis is usually good if the tumour is properly managed. The role of various imaging modalities in the evaluation of these neoplasms is discussed, with special emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging. The authors review the importance of imaging in tumour detection, characterization, staging and surveillance after therapy, and they emphasize the critical subject of proper biopsy technique.
软组织肉瘤并不常见，但由于如果肿瘤得到妥善处理，其长期预后通常良好，因此对其进行诊断很重要。本文讨论了各种成像方式在评估这些肿瘤中的作用，特别强调了磁共振成像。作者回顾了成像在肿瘤检测、特征描述、分期及治疗后监测中的重要性，并强调了正确活检技术这一关键问题。
