: We declare that some of our subjects overlap with the previously reported study [Lee JH, Yoon YC, Jin W, Cha JG, Kim S (2019) Development and validation of nomograms for malignancy prediction in soft tissue tumors using magnetic resonance imaging measurements. Sci Rep 9:4897]. In the prior study, we reported on 236 patients. Among them, 25 patients were included in the current study. The prior study developed, validated, and compared nomograms for malignancy prediction in soft tissue tumors using conventional and diffusion-weighed MRI measurements. On the contrary, the current study focuses on correlation between MRI parameters and Ki-67 labeling index using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI as well as diffusion-weighed MRI.
