Physiologic MR Imaging in Distinguishing Benign from Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Brief description of study
The purpose of this research study is to help identify the difference between cancerous
and non-cancerous salivary gland tumors for improving treatment strategies and also
aid in the prediction of disease progression. It is important to determine whether the
salivary gland tumor is cancerous prior to operation because this information can
influence surgical planning. Correct diagnosis can avoid delayed treatment of cancerous
tumors and the overall treatment of non-cancerous tumors, resulting in overall
improvement survival and quality of life.
Detailed description of study
Your study participation will include the completion of a research MRI scan. The total
duration of your study visit will last for approximately 2 hours, with the MRI scan taking
about 1 hour to complete.
