Radiomic features as biomarkers of soft tissue paediatric sarcomas: preliminary results of a PET/MR study

Abstract

Pediatric soft tissue sarcomas are rare tumors with rhabdomyosarcoma being the most frequent histotype. Diagnostic imaging plays a significant role in the evaluation of this type of tumors. Thus, aim of this study was to assess the prognostic and diagnostic value of radiomic features extracted from axial T2w images of the primary lesion in children with soft tissue sarcomas examined by PET/MR for staging.
