Multimodality fMRI with perfusion, diffusion ‐weighted MRI and 1H‐MRS in the diagnosis of lympho‐associated benign and malignant lesions of the parotid gland

ConclusionCombined use1H ‐MRS, DWI‐MR, and DCE‐MR increased the accuracy of the differential diagnosis between these lesions to 100%. Cho peak in1H ‐MRS, ADC less than 0.669 × 10−3mm2/s, TIC type I together indicated parotid MALToma.Level of Evidence: 3Technical Efficacy: Stage 2J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2018.
