Objectives To determine added value of permeability MRI in parotid tumor characterization to T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), semi-quantitative analysis of time-intensity curve (TIC), and intra-voxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI). Methods This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board, and the informed consent was waived. Sixty-one parotid tumors in 61 patients were examined using T2WI, IVIM-DWI, and permeability MRI. TIC patterns were categorized as persistent, washout, or plateau. Signal intensity ratio of lesion-to-muscle on T2WI, apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs),Dandfvalues from IVIM-DWI, andK(trans),k(ep),V-e, andV(p)values from permeability MRI were measured. Multiple comparisons were applied to determine whether any differences among 4 histopathologic types (pleomorphic adenomas, Warthin's tumors, other benign tumors, and malignant tumors) existed. Diagnostic accuracy was compared before and after modification diagnosis referring to permeability MRI. In a validation study, 60 parotid tumors in 60 patients were examined. Results ADC andDvalues of malignant tumors were significantly lower than those of benign tumors other than Warthin's tumors, but higher than those of Warthin's tumors.k(ep)andV(p)values of Warthin's tumors were significantly higher than those of malignant tumors. Multivariate analyses showed that TIC pattern,D, andk(ep)values were suitable parameters. McNemar's test showed a significant increase of sensitivity (11/12, 92%) and specificity (46/49, 94%) with addingk(ep). The validation study yielded high sensitivity (14/16, 88%) and specificity (41/44, 93%). Conclusion Permeability MRI offers added value to IVIM-MRI and semi-quantitative TIC analysis of DCE-MRI in characterization of parotid tumors
