Diffusion kurtosis imaging in the differential diagnosis of parotid gland disease and parotid adenolymphoma: preliminary results

DKI showed higher diagnostic capacity in the differential diagnosis of PGD with different pathological patterns. Combined parameters of DKI can differentiate PAL from other PGD pathological patterns with a high degree of accuracy. This technique shows great potential for DKI in the differential diagnosis of PGD within a certain pathological category.
