Evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging parameters and compliance with guidelines in soft tissue sarcomas

Accurate imaging plays a crucial role for prognostic assessment and treatment allocation in soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Guidelines recommend contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for tumor assessment. This study aims to evaluate the extent to wh...

Description
Summary:Accurate imaging plays a crucial role for prognostic assessment and treatment allocation in soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Guidelines recommend contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for tumor assessment. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which the MRI protocols used in clinical practice align with the sequences specified in the guideline in the diagnostic work-up of sarcoma patients.
