An update in musculoskeletal tumors: from quantitative imaging to radiomics

Vito Chianca et al. Radiol Med. 2021 Aug.

Abstract

In the last two decades, relevant progress has been made in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors due to the development of new imaging tools, such as diffusion-weighted imaging, diffusion kurtosis imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and diffusion tensor imaging. Another important role has been played by the development of artificial intelligence software based on complex algorithms, which employ computing power in the detection of specific tumor types. The aim of this article is to report the most advanced imaging techniques focusing on their advantages in clinical practice.

Keywords: Bone sarcoma; Diffusion tensor imaging; MRI; Quantitative imaging biomarkers; Radiomics; Soft tissue sarcoma.
