The study is to quantitatively compare the morphology distortion in distinguishing parotid pleomorphic adenomas (PMA) between PROPELLER-DWI and EP-DWI. This retrospective study enrolled 14 PMAs. All participants underwent 1.5-T fat-saturated diffusion-weighted imaging with PROPELLER-DWI and EP-DWI. A local coregistration method to quantitatively evaluate the distortion of parotid gland tumors between single shot EP-DWI and PROPELLER DWI. Imaging distortion represented by Dice coefficient was quantitatively analyzed. Our results showed that PROPELLER-DWI allows distinguishing PMAs with less distortion than EP-DWI.
