Not only is MR imaging maximally sensitive to the presence of musculoskeletal soft-tissue lesions, but also it provides exquisite definition of their features. Categorization of the many distinct attributes of the lesions is the key to differentiation of benign from malignant processes. Combining the observations concerning the architectural details with the location and pattern of growth, and finally with the specific MR signal characteristics and contrast enhancement patterns, will produce the most limited differential diagnosis possible. Although there are few, if any, pathognomonic findings for malignant or benign lesions in diagnostic imaging, a high degree of confidence or statistical likelihood can be achieved in many instances using MR imaging.
磁共振成像（MR成像）不仅对肌肉骨骼软组织病变的存在具有最高的敏感性，而且还能精确显示其特征。对病变众多不同属性进行分类是区分良性与恶性病变过程的关键。将有关结构细节的观察结果与生长位置和模式相结合，最后再结合特定的MR信号特征和对比增强模式，将得出最有限的鉴别诊断。尽管在诊断成像中几乎没有针对恶性或良性病变的特异性表现，但在许多情况下，使用MR成像可以获得高度的确定性或统计学上的可能性。
