• The summary sensitivity and specificity of radiologist gestalt for detecting liposarcomas was 85% (79-90% 95% CI) and 63% (52-72%), respectively. • Radiologist gestalt, deep depth to fascia, thickened septations, enhancing components, and large tumor size (≥ 10 cm) showed the highest sensitivities for detecting atypical lipomatous tumors/well-differentiated liposarcomas and malignant liposarcomas. • A combined clinical and imaging scoring system and/or radiomics is likely to provide the best overall diagnostic accuracy, although currently proposed scoring systems and radiomic feature analysis require further study with prospective study designs.
