Physiologic MR Imaging of Salivary Gland Tumors

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Salivary Gland Tumor
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: MRI
Registration Number
NCT04452162
Lead Sponsor
Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine
Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to use advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques to help identify the difference between cancerous and non-cancerous salivary gland tumors for improving treatment strategies and to aid in the prediction of disease progression.

Detailed Description

The goal of this proposed study is to investigate the potential utility of combined analysis of parameters (Ktrans, ti and ADC) in discriminating benign from malignant salivary glands tumors (SGTs). A total of 30 treatment naïve patients suspicious of SGT as observed on clinical evaluation and prior routine CT, MRI, Ultrasound, FNAC and/or PET will undergo 3T MRI. The MRI protocol will include acquisition of anatomical images with and without contrast agent injection, diffusion imaging and dynamic contrast enhanced-MRI.
