Qualitative diagnosis for parotid gland tumor based on magnetic resonance imaging and color Doppler flow imaging using decision tree
To establish a decision tree model based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI)
and to explore its value in the qualitative diagnosis of parotid tumors.
Methods
2
In this retrospective study
we analyzed 155 parotid gland tumors (50 malignant tumors
68 pleomorphic adenomas
and 37 adenolymphomas) between January 2016 and June 2022. We analyzed the MRI features and CDFI grades of different parotid tumors and established the decision tree model.
Results
2
For malignant tumors of the parotid gland
70%(35/50) of the lesions were irregular
54%(27/50) were trans‑lobular
80%(40/50) were blurred
66%(33/50) were surrounded by retromandibular vein
and the CDFI grade was higher
with 80% (16/20) cases in grade Ⅲ. For benign tumors of the parotid gland (pleomorphic adenoma and adenolymphoma)
the lesions were mostly round (80.9% (55/68) for pleomorphic adenoma and 81.1% (30/37) for adenolymphoma)
rarely trans⁃lobular (10.3% (7/68) for pleomorphic adenoma and 54% (27/37) for adenolymphoma)
with clear margins (92.6% (63/68) for pleomorphic adenoma and 81.1% (30/37) for adenolymphoma)
and less commonly surrounding the posterior mandibular vein (7.4% (5/68) for pleomorphic adenoma and 18.9% (7/37) for adenolymphoma). The CDFI grade of benign tumors was lower
mainly in grade 0 to Ⅰ. In addition
94.6%(35/37) of adenolymphoma patients had T2WI low signal fissure sign; pleomorphic adenoma and malignant tumor were rare (7.4%(5/68) and 16.0%(7/50)
respectively). The decision tree model based on MRI and CDFI showed that CDFI and T2WI low signal fissure sign were the predictors of the model
which had high accuracy in the qualitative diagnosis of parotid gland tumor.
Conclusion
2
Parotid malignant tumor
pleomorphic adenoma
and adenolymphoma have their characteristic imaging manifestations on MRI and CDFI. The decision tree model based on CDFI and T2WI low signal fissure signs can effectively improve the qualitative diagnosis of parotid tumors
which is helpful for clinical decision‑making.
