Overview
MRI
MRI, as is the case with other soft tissue tumours, is more sensitive to local tumour extension. Their appearance is accounted for by their dense cellularity. Typical signal characteristics include:
T1: low signal intensity T2: low signal intensity T1 C+ (Gd): may show homogeneous, inhomogeneous, or no significant enhancement
