    The study evaluated the effectiveness of IVIM and conventional MRI in differentiating benign, intermediate, and malignant fibrous soft-tissue tumors.

  • 2

    Fifty-five patients with fibrous STTs were included, categorized into 18 benign, 18 intermediate, and 19 malignant cases.

  • 3

    Malignant tumors exhibited higher heterogeneity, contrast enhancement, and necrosis compared to benign and intermediate tumors.

  • 4

    Standard-ADCmean and Dmean values decreased from benign to malignant tumors, with Dmean showing the highest AUC for differentiation.

  • 5

    The combination of conventional MRI signs and IVIM parameters achieved the highest AUC of 0.971 for distinguishing benign from non-benign STTs.
