[Abstract] Objective To investigate the value of multiparametric features including diffusion weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in differentiation between parotid Warthin tumor and pleomorphic adenoma (PA). Materials andMethods Forty-eight patients were included in this study including 32 parotid Warthin tumors and 24 pleomorphic adenomas. Conventional and multiparametric MRI features were analyzed. Differences in conventional MRI features, ADCs, previous signal intensity (SIpre)、maximum signal intensity of enhancement (SImax) and signal intensity of the end of enhancement (SIend), wash-out ratio (WR), time to peak (TTP), and time-intensity curves (TICs) types between the two entities were determined by χ2 test and independent samples t-test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of parameters being statistically different between groups were drawn for differential diagnosis of Warthin tumor and PA of parotid gland, and the corresponding diagnostic efficacy were analyzed.Results The ages of Warthin tumors were significantly older than those of pleomorphic adenomas (t=9.33, P<0.05). The male to female ratios were significantly different between the two entities (P<0.05). The ADCs of Warthin tumors [(0.634±0.201)×10-3 mm2/s] were significantly lower than those of pleomorphic adenomas [(1.084±0.453)×10-3 mm2/s](t=-5.00, P<0.05). There were significant differences in SIpre (t=4.01, P=0.0002)、WR (t=15.10, P<0.0001)、TTP (P<0.05) and TIC types (P<0.05) between the two entities. Taking ADC=0.811×10-3 mm2/s as threshold drawing ROC for differential diagnosis of Warthin tumor and PA of parotid gland, the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, were 0.845 (P<0.05), 83.3%, 90.63%. Taking TIC types drawing ROC, the AUC, sensitivity, specificity, were 0.961 (P<0.05), 95.45%, 100%. Taking ADCs combined with TIC types drawing ROC, the AUC, sensitivity, specificity, were 0.984 (P<0.05), 100%, 96.88%.Conclusions Multiparameters and combined parameters of DWI and DCE-MRI were helpful to differential diagnosis of Warthin tumor and pleomorphic adenoma of parotid.
