Various diagnostic tools were used in 26 patients with parotid masses to determine their value in preoperative malignant or benign categorization. These tools were positron emission tomography (PET), clinical examination, fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). PET identified all 26 lesions and all 12 malignant lesions, but made the correct categorization in only 69% of cases. Thus, it was not as good as the more conventional diagnostic methods, their correct categorizations being 85% (clinical), 87% (CT/MRI), and 78% (FNAB) in the same patients.
对26例腮腺肿块患者使用了各种诊断工具，以确定它们在术前判断肿块为恶性或良性方面的价值。这些工具包括正电子发射断层扫描（PET）、临床检查、细针穿刺活检（FNAB）、计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）。PET识别出了所有26个病灶以及所有12个恶性病灶，但仅在69%的病例中做出了正确分类。因此，它不如更传统的诊断方法，在同一批患者中，传统诊断方法的正确分类率分别为：临床检查85%、CT/MRI 87%、FNAB 78%。
