N2  - Purpose: to evaluate the signal characteristics of diffusion weighted MRI  sequences of soft tissue tumors in pediatrics and their corresponding ADC  measurements and their ability to differentiate between benign and malignant  lesions and their response to therapy. Conclusions: DWI and ADC can assist in evaluation of soft tissue masses in  conjunction with conventional sequences but do not have high accuracy. They  may be used as markers to assess tumor response. Further dedicated study of a  bigger sample is recommended to confirm the results of this study, especially  concerning follow up of tumors and the use of perfusion insensitive ADC
