Radiomics approach to distinguish between benign and malignant soft tissue tumors on magnetic resonance imaging.

Objective: To build a radiomics signature based on MRI images and evaluate its capability for preoperatively identifying the benign and malignant Soft tissue neoplasms (STTs).

Materials And Methods: 193 patients (99 malignant STTs and 94 benign STTs) were at random segmented into a training cohort (69 malignant STTs and 65 benign STTs) and a validation cohort (30 malignant STTs and 29 benign STTs) with a portion of 7:3. Radiomics features were extracted from T2 with fat saturation and T1 with fat saturation and gadolinium contrast images.
