title: [An evaluation of MR imaging of soft-tissue masses in extremities].
abstract: We evaluated 22 soft-tissue masses in the extremities using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The twenty-two cases consist of 14 benign lesions and 8 malignant lesions. MR imaging is available to provide the representation of the extent of the masses, though characteristic diagnosis of them could not be identified. We think that there are more advantages to using MR imaging rather than computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of soft-tissue masses in extremities.
