| pubmed-article:2408105 | pubmed:abstractText | We believe that MR imaging should follow plain films in the imaging analysis of soft-tissue tumors and bone tumors suspected of malignancy. MR imaging is primarily useful in tumor staging, although it may aid in diagnosis and the detection of recurrent or residual disease. Gd-DTPA and MR spectroscopy are currently being evaluated in many medical centers; their utility in the work-up and management of tumors of bone and soft tissue has yet to be determined. | lld:pubmed |
