Evaluating of Parotid Gland Tumours According to Diffusion Weighted MRI

Evaluating of Parotid Gland Tumours According to Diffusion Weighted MRI

The aim of this study is evaluating the contribution of diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) in the final diagnosis of patient that parotid gland tumours has been determined. Fourty patients with 41 parotid masses were included to this study. The mean Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values were calculated for all of lesions by performing DWI. 28 benign and 13 malignant tumours were detected...

Preoperative Diagnostic Strategy for Parotid Gland Tumors Using Diffusion-Weighted MRI and Technetium-99m Pertechnetate Scintigraphy: A Prospective Study.

OBJECTIVE Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for diagnosis of a parotid gland tumor is widely used but its sensitivity is low and non-diagnostic rate is relatively high. In contrast, core needle biopsy (CNB) has a higher sensitivity and lower rate of sampling errors but has a higher risk of injury to adjacent organs such as facial nerve than FNAC. Screening of patients with parotid gland tu...

Parotid gland tumours in Turkish population: analysis of 165 patients.

BACKGROUND Retrospective data on 165 patients who presented with a parotid mass and underwent surgery in our clinics during 2000-2009 were examined. The obtained data (demographic data, surgical procedures, histopathological diagnoses) were compared to similar studies to make contributions to the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were classified according to their histopathological d...
