MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN DIAGNOSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF TREATMENT RESPONSE IN SOFT TISSUE SARCOMA (REVIEW OF LITERATURE)

Abstract

The review presents the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma in the pre-hospital period and during combined modality treatment was studied. Findings of using MRI in the assessment of local tumor extent and diffusion-weighted MRI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in the estimation of the effectiveness of preoperative treatment were presented.
