Investigation of the feasibility of synthetic MRI in the differential diagnosis of non-keratinising nasopharyngeal carcinoma and benign hyperplasia using different contoured methods for delineation of the region of interest

To assess the feasibility and preliminary diagnostic performances of relaxation times derived from synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (syMRI) for differentiating nasopharyngeal carcinoma from nasopharyngeal benign lymphoid hyperplasia, and to assess the influence of tissue segmentation method on relaxation estimates.
