Salivary gland tumors: diagnostic value of gadolinium-enhanced dynamic MR imaging with histopathologic correlation.
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic value of gadolinium-enhanced dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of salivary gland tumors and correlate the MR imaging and histopathologic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three salivary gland tumors in 29 patients were examined preoperatively at gadolinium-enhanced dynamic MR imaging. There were 22 benign and 11 malignant tumors. Dynamic contrast ...
متن کاملThe value of dynamic contrast–enhanced MRI in characterizing complex ovarian tumors
BACKGROUND The study aimed to investigate the utility of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in the differentiation of malignant, borderline, and benign complex ovarian tumors. METHODS DCE-MRI data of 102 consecutive complex ovarian tumors (benign 15, borderline 16, and malignant 71), confirmed by surgery and histopathology, were analyzed retrospectively. The patterns (I, II, and III) of ...
متن کاملThe Added Diagnostic Value of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI at 3.0 T in Nonpalpable Breast Lesions
OBJECTIVE To investigate the added diagnostic value of 3.0 Tesla breast MRI over conventional breast imaging in the diagnosis of in situ and invasive breast cancer and to explore the role of routine versus expert reading. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated MRI scans of patients with nonpalpable BI-RADS 3-5 lesions who underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced 3.0 Tesla breast MRI. Initially, MRI sc...
متن کاملDynamic Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) and Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging (DWI) for Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Background: Salivary gland tumors form nearly 3% of head and neck tumors. Due to their large histological variety and vicinity to facial nerves, pre-operative diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant parotid tumors are a major challenge for radiologists. Objective: The majority of these tumors are benign; however, sometimes they tend to transform into a malignant form. Functional M...
متن کاملUltrasound contrast media in the study of salivary gland tumors.
BACKGROUND The aims of the present study were: to assess standard ultrasound and color-Doppler patterns for the study and characterization of salivary gland tumors; to define the improvement in the color-Doppler ultrasound image after injection of a signal amplifier (Levovist); to compare morphological and vascular aspects of the neoplasm with data obtained during postoperative histopathologica...
