Abstract:
Analysis of the CT aspect and anatomopathologic correlation of 11 liposarcomas of the abdomen and chest enabled definition of CT criteria for diagnosis. Anatomo-radiologic correlation could be established both for well-defined and poorly-defined tumors. However, due to the uneasy localization and high recurrence rate of poorly defined tumors, the data provided by CT did not improve the prognostic rates.

Computed Tomography
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
