: Some patients in the present study cohort overlapped one of our studies, in which we used readout segmentation of long variable echo-trains diffusion-weighted imaging and quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) with ROI measurements to differentiate parotid tumors. As for the DCE-MRI part, 69 cases (56.1%) overlapped in these two studies. In that study, the temporal resolution, duration of dynamic sequence and diffusion technique, and calculated mode were far different from our present study.
