Color Doppler and Mri Diffusion in Major Salivary Gland Masses

• Conditions: Salivary Gland Diseases

• Registration Number: NCT03893812
• Lead Sponsor: Assiut University

Brief Summary

This study intend to evaluate the combined value of ADC and COLOR DOPPLER in differentiating benign and malignant salivary gland tumors in comparison to histopathological findings and its use in preoperative prediction of benign and malignant masses.

Detailed Description

the study aim to achieve preoperative differentiation between benign and malignant masses of the major salivary glands using the ADC values and Color Doppler values (PSV - PI - RI)
