Advanced magnetic resonance imaging findings in salivary gland tumors

Figure 5 Eighty-seven years old female patient with squamous cell carcinoma infiltrating into the left parotid gland. A: T2-weighted image shows a mass with a large cystic component; B: The lesion is hypointense on T1-weighted image; C: Solid component of the mass appears to be slightly hyperintens on the diffusion-weighted image; D: The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of the solid component of mass was 1.05 × 10^-3 mm²/sec on the ADC; E: There was intense contrast enhancement of the solid component of mass on the contrast-enhanced image; F: On the color-coded perfusion magnetic resonance imaging, hyperperfused areas are seen in the solid component of the mass; G: On the time intensity curve of mass, progressive enhancement is seen towards the late phases. H: Ktrans was measured on quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
