Bone Cancer Tumor, Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS)
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the feasibility and clinical utility of radiomics to diagnose peri-lesion tumour infiltration of tumours in participants with a suspect of Bone Cancer Tumor or Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS). The main questions it aims to answer are: * is radiomics able to identify the ratio of participants truly diagnosed as positive to all those who had positive test results? * is radiomics able to identify the likelihood that a participant who has a negative test result indeed does not have the disease? Participants eligible for this study will get a MRI as part of their regular medical care. The only difference is that their data will be recorded and anonymously analyzed.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Positive Predictive Value (PPV) | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years | It is the ratio of patients truly diagnosed as positive to all those who had positive test results (including healthy subjects who were incorrectly diagnosed as patient). |
| Negative Predictive Value (NPV) | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years | It is the ratio of subjects truly diagnosed as negative to all those who had negative test results (including patients who were incorrectly diagnosed as healthy). |
