Salivary Gland Diseases
Conditions
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)
