| Research Abstract |
In this study, a clear contrast was demonstrated between soft tissue tumors and adjacent muscle, fat, and bone, because the ECR of these tissues differ significantly. Since with ECRI free water protons exert no influence, the presence of tumor infiltration into the surrounding muscle and other subcutaneous tissues is clearly delineated, thereby greatly facilitating the setting of the resection line of soft tissue sarcomas preoperatively.
In breast cancer ECR-19 has been reported to show high values reflecting the degree of fibrosis, and in this study as well fibrous lesions such as DFSP and desmoids exhibited significantly higher ECR-19 values than did other tumors. This study suggested the possibility that ECR of soft tissue sarcomas may reveal various tumor characteristics.
