Differentiation between pleomorphic adenoma and schwannoma in the parapharyngeal space: histogram analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient
CONCLUSIONS: Skewness and kurtosis showed significant differences between pleomorphic adenomas and schwannomas occupying the parapharyngeal space, but the mean ADC values did not. Our results suggest that the skewness and kurtosis of ADC histograms may be useful in differentiating these two parapharyngeal tumors.PMID:37665011 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230140
