Background: Accurate identification of the histopathological grade and the Ki-67 expression level is important in clinical cases of soft tissue sarcomas (STSs).
Purpose: To explore the feasibility of a radiomics model based on intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) MRI parameter maps in predicting the histopathological grade and Ki-67 expression level of STSs.
Material And Methods: In total, 42 patients diagnosed with STSs between May 2018 and January 2020 were selected.

Background: Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a self-limiting tumor that mostly occurs in the subcutaneous superficial fascia. NF originating from the appendicular periosteum is extremely rare. A large NF lesion of periosteal origin can be misdiagnosed as a malignant bone tumor and may cause overtreatment.

Methods: Clinical and CT imaging data of 43 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in our hospital and the cooperative hospital between January 15-30, 2020 were collected (27 male and 16 female). Patients were classified as common type (26 cases, 60%), severe type (14 cases, 33%) or critical type (three cases, 7%) according to the new coronavirus pneumonia treatment scheme (sixth edition).
