| description | Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to identify neurogenic tumours and pleomorphic adenomas of the parapharyngeal space based on the texture characteristics of MRI-T2WI. Methods MR findings and pathological reports of 25 patients with benign tumours in the parapharyngeal space were reviewed retrospectively (13 cases with pleomorphic adenomas and 12 cases with neurogenic tumours). Using PyRadiomics, the texture of the region of interest in T2WI sketched by radiologists was analysed. By using independent sample t-tests and Mann‒Whitney U tests, the selected texture features of 36 Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Gray Level Dependence Matrix (GLDM) were tested. A set of parameters of texture features showed statistically significant differences between the two groups, which were selected, and the diagnostic efficiency was evaluated via the operating characteristic curve of the subjects. Results The differences in the three parameters – small dependence low level emphasis (SDLGLE), low level emphasis (LGLE) and difference variance (DV) of characteristics – between the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in the other indices. ROC curves were drawn for the three parameters, with AUCs of 0.833, 0.795, and 0.744, respectively. Conclusions There is a difference in the texture characteristic parameters based on magnetic resonance T2WI images between neurogenic tumours and pleomorphic adenomas in the parapharyngeal space. For the differential diagnosis of these two kinds of tumours, texture analysis of significant importance is an objective and quantitative analytical tool. |
