Differentiation of salivary gland tumors using diffusion-weighted image-based virtual MR elastography: A pilot study

CONCLUSION: Elasticity values based on DWI-based virtual MRE of benign salivary gland tumors, Warthin tumors, and malignant salivary gland tumors were significantly different. The elasticity of Warthin tumors was the highest and that of benign tumors was the lowest. The elasticity from DWI-based virtual MRE may aid in the differential diagnosis of salivary gland tumors.PMID:38502962 | DOI:10.1093/dmfr/twae010
