This article reviews the role of routine and advanced diffusion imaging modules of the salivary glands. Routine and advanced diffusion imaging modules have a role in differentiation of malignant from benign salivary gland tumors, characterization of some benign salivary gland tumors, and staging of salivary gland cancer. The role of advanced diffusion modules in patients with salivary gland cancer after surgery, radiation therapy, or radioiodine therapy is discussed. Advanced diffusion imaging modules can help in diagnosis and staging of Sjögren syndrome.
本文综述了唾液腺常规及高级扩散成像模块的作用。常规及高级扩散成像模块在鉴别唾液腺良恶性肿瘤、某些良性唾液腺肿瘤的特征描述以及唾液腺癌的分期方面发挥着作用。文中还讨论了高级扩散成像模块在唾液腺癌患者术后、放疗或放射性碘治疗后的作用。高级扩散成像模块有助于干燥综合征的诊断和分期。
