Abstract

The surgical management of extremity bone and soft tissue sarcomas has evolved significantly over the last 50years. The introduction and refinement of high-resolution cross-sectional imaging has allowed accurate assessment of anatomy and tumor extent, and in the current era more than 90% of patients can successfully undergo limb-salvage surgery. Advances in imaging have also revolutionized the clinician's ability to assess treatment response, detect metastatic disease, and perform intraoperative surgical navigation. This review summarizes the broad and essential role radiology plays in caring for sarcoma patients from diagnosis to post-treatment surveillance. Present evidence-based imaging paradigms are highlighted along with key future directions.
