Brief Summary

The hypoxia \> metastasis axis suggests that a DWI-based biomarker of hypoxia incorporating IVIM may be able to predict metastasis in STS patients, ultimately enabling stratification for personalized treatments at the time of diagnostic (MR) imaging, without adding an excessive burden to the patient or clinical workflow (typical DWI/IVIM sequences can be acquired acquired in approximately 5 minutes).
