Abstract
With the availability of current imaging modalities, radiology plays a major role in diagnosis, pretreatment staging, and posttreatment evaluation of musculoskeletal soft tissue tumors. It is essential that the appropriate use of these imaging modalities be understood, as each imaging modality has its advantages and limitations in the assessment of soft tissue tumors. Newer, advanced imaging techniques have further facilitated management of soft tissue sarcomas. This chapter provides a holistic view of specific roles in the oncology team consisting of radiologist, oncology physician, and oncology orthopedic surgeon in diagnosis, staging, treatment and management of patients with musculoskeletal soft tissue sarcomas.
