[Abstract] Objective To investigate the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) combined with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differential diagnosis of salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma (PA) and basal cell adenoma (BCA).Materials and Methods Retrospective analysis of 55 cases with salivary gland tumors confirmed by pathology in Jining First People 's Hospital from December 2018 to August 2022, including 38 cases of PA and 17 cases of BCA. MRI data of all patients were collected and analyzed from picture archiving and communication system. The PA and BCA were compared and analyzed in time intensity curve (TIC) types, quantitative parameters [volume transfer constant (Ktrans), the rate constant (Kep), fractional volume of the extravascular-extracellular space (Ve), plasma fraction (Vp)] and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value. Rreceiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the efficiency of DCE-MRI combined with DWI in distinguishing PA and BCA.Results The mean ADC value of PA [(1.74±0.36)×10-3 mm2/s] was higher than that of BCA [(1.32±0.13)×10-3 mm2/s], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were 5 cases of type B and 11 cases of type C in TIC of 17 cases of BCA, and 27 cases of type A, 10 cases of type C in 38 cases of PA. The Kep value of PA was lower than that of BCA and the Ve value of PA was higher than that of BCA (P<0.05 ) in the quantitative parameters of DCE-MRI. There was no significant difference in Ktrans and Vp values between PA and BCA groups. The area under the curve (AUC) of ADC, TIC, Kep and Ve were 0.875, 0.808, 0.822 and 0.747, respectively. And the AUC of multi-parameter combination was 0.895-0.952.Conclusions TIC, Kep, Ve and ADC are all helpful to differentiate BCA and PA in salivary gland, and the combination of multiple parameters further improves its diagnostic efficiency.
