简要总结
The goal of this observational study to evaluate the accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasonography in characterization of superficial soft tissue masses.
详细描述
This study is a prospective observational study aiming to evaluate and compare the diagnostic roles of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) in the characterization of superficial soft tissue masses. The study will be conducted in [ Sohag ] over a period of [ 6 Months].
Participants Consecutive patients presenting with superficial soft tissue masses (located within the subcutaneous tissue. Inclusion criteria include Patients who suffer from superficial soft tissue lesions measurable by both MRI and US in both sex and of any age group, will be included in the study , Exclusion criteria include Patients unwilling to complete study, Patients with absolute or relative contraindications for imaging including; claustrophobia, metallic implants, pacemaker and prosthetic heart valves for MRI, will be evaluated by US.
Objectives
- Primary objective: To determine the added value of MRI compared with ultrasound in accurate characterization of superficial soft tissue masses (benign vs malignant features).
- Secondary objectives:
- Assess concordance between MRI and US in differentiating cystic versus solid lesions.
- Identify specific imaging features on MRI and US that best predict malignant potential.
- Evaluate interobserver agreement for MRI and US interpretations.
