BACKGROUND: Preoperative imaging of salivary gland tumors is important for predicting and differentiating benign from malignant tumors, and for aiding management planning. We aimed to investigate the accuracy of combined quantitative diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and routine contrast-enhanced MRI in the evaluation of salivary gland tumors and the differentiation of benign from malignant tumors.
RESULTS: This study included 51 patients with a total of 16 benign and 35 malignant lesions that were detected by histopathological analysis. There was a statistically significant difference between the apparent diffusion coefficient values (ADC) of malignant and benign lesions (0.69 ± 0.22 × 10-3 mm2/s and 1.39 ± 0.52 × 10-3 mm2/s respectively). The optimal cut-off ADC value was 1.08 with 75% specificity and 97% sensitivity. The routine contrast-enhanced MRI had predicted benign and malignant tumors with 65% sensitivity and 44% specificity. The sensitivity and specificity were greatly increased when quantitative diffusion-weighted MRI was combined with routine contrast-enhanced MRI: 100%, and 88% respectively. A receiver operating curve was generated. The area under curve was 0.88 (p < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.76-0.99).
CONCLUSION: Combined quantitative diffusion-weighted MRI with ADC measurements and routine contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging are helpful tools for the evaluation of salivary gland tumors and help differentiate benign from malignant lesions.
