Accurate discrimination of benign and malignant parotid
tumors in morphological MR images is a challenging
issue. On one hand there exist large histological
variations throughout the tumor, and on the other hand
anatomical MR-derived features have low sensitivity in
capturing the physiological non-uniformities of parotid
tumors. To overcome this problem, in this work, we have
explored and compared several quantitative measures
extracted from ADC map to find the best parameters in
distinguishing benign and malignant parotid tumors, in
an automatic classification scheme.
