Pixel-based time–intensity curve analysis and apparent diffusion coefficient mapping of sinonasal organized hematomas

Authors: Miho Sasaki, Takashi Nakamura

Published in: Oral Radiology | Issue 2/2010

Abstract

We present dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in three cases of sinonasal organized hematoma. The DCE MRI was evaluated by analyzing the time–intensity curve patterns on a pixel-by-pixel basis and diffusion-weighted MRI by analyzing the apparent diffusion coefficient maps. Preoperative information on the physiological tumor properties obtained with these MRI techniques may be useful in differentiating organized hematomas from other benign or malignant tumors or tumorlike lesions in the sinonasal area.
