Abstract:
OBJECTIVESIn this work, we aimed to propose an automatic classification scheme based on the parameters derived from apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)-maps for discriminating benign and malignant parotid tumors.
METHODSMRI was carried out prospectively on 41 patients presented with parotid tumors who underwent surgery and post-surgical histopathological assessment was provided for them (32 benign, 9 malignant). Based on anatomical images, regions of interest (ROIs) were selected on the most solid parts of tumors on ADC-maps. Three quantitative parameters, namely ADC-Mean, ADC-Max and ADC-Mean were calculated. Automatic classification of parotid tumors using ADC parameters was performed and assessed employing two different classifiers, namely, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA).
RESULTSFollowing statistical analysis, it was indicated that the ADC values in benign tumors are significantly higher than malignant tumors. ADC-Mean, and -Max presented statistically significant differences among benign and malignant parotid tumors (pCONCLUSIONSADC-Max is a potential biomarker for discriminating benign and malignant parotid tumors. Using ADC-Max and LDA, a simple and clinically-feasible classifier is proposed.
