Bone and Soft Tissues

Imaging is essential to detect, characterize, and monitor bone and soft tissue tumors. Further, imaging has gained much space as a guidance for mini-invasive and highly effective procedures that can be considered as valuable alternative options to surgery in specific settings. A multimodality and multidisciplinary approach is required to correctly manage patients with musculoskeletal tumors, which are generally treated in reference centers. In this chapter, we provide an up-to-date overview of imaging characteristics of BT and STT, focusing on the most common tumors, and image-guided interventional procedures generally used to treat these lesions.
