Abstract
Cost-effective imaging evaluation of a suspected soft tissue tumor requires knowledge of all available imaging modalities, including indications for each and relative advantages and disadvantages. Imaging studies are useful in pre-treatment diagnostic evaluation, biopsy planning, and post-treatment evaluation for recurrence. Close communication between the orthopedic surgeon and radiologist is essential for appropriate management. This article will emphasize an approach to the imaging evaluation of a suspected soft tissue tumor.
