Abstract: 

Sarcomas account for less than 1 % of all the types of cancers and radiological imaging plays a key role in the overall work up of the study, with each imaging modality having its advantage The main aim of this research study, however, is to differentiate between the malignant and the benign lesions by assessing signal characteristics, enhancement following contrast administration, and osseous and neurovascular involvement. Results indicated that MRI showed a higher sensitivity and specificity, PPV and NPV of MRI with the following values respectively -74%, 94%, 88% and 85%The study demonstrates that MRI is an extremely useful diagnostic tool for the detection of tumours.
