Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis, biopsy, staging, and follow‐up of patients with soft tissue sarcomas. General principles of imaging diagnosis of soft‐tissue sarcomas using radiography, ultrasound, CT, MRI, and PET/CT will be discussed, with emphasis on the role of location, internal fat and calcification, presence of myxoid stroma, and enhancement characteristics.
