Abstract

Imaging is vital in characterising and delineating the extent of soft tissue tumours and there is abundant literature on this. A simplified approach is required to characterise the lesions on MR and we describe a simplified street-smart approach called SLAM (signal, location, age, multiplicity and matrix).
