Time resolved magnetic resonance angiography with interleaved stochastic trajectories (TWIST) allows for identification of tumor feeding arteries and arteriovenous shunt (AVS). We used TWIST to obtain number of feeding arteries (NFA) and detect AVS for 43 cases of pathology-confirmed soft tissue tumors. We compared normalized number of feeding arteries (nNFA) and AVS between malignant and benign tumors, and found nNFA was significantly greater in malignant tumors versus benign tumors (2.1 vs 1.3, P < .05). The incidence of AVS was significantly higher in malignant tumors versus benign tumors (87.5% vs 10.5%, P < .05). TWIST derived nNFA and AVS could be useful in the discrimination of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors.
