Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Our aim was to determine the value of echo-planar diffusion-weighted MR imaging (epiDWI) in differentiating various types of primary parotid gland tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred forty-nine consecutive patients with suspected tumors of the parotid gland were examin...
