Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) Histogram Analysis in Parotid Gland Tumors: Evaluating a Novel Approach for Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Parotid Lesions Based on Full Histogram Distributions

Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) Histogram Analysis in Parotid Gland Tumors: Evaluating a Novel Approach for Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Parotid Lesions Based on Full Histogram Distributions

The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of ADC distribution curves for differentiation between benign and malignant parotid gland tumors and to compare with mean ADC values. 73 patients with parotid gland tumors underwent head-and-neck MRI on a 1.5 Tesla scanner prior to surgery and...
