Comparison of parameters derived from DWI and DCE-MRI in KD and three other head and neck conditions. (a) ADCs of primary lesions across four conditions. (b) ADCs of lymphadenopathy in KD and lymphoma. (c) TIC patterns of lesions and lymphadenopathy across four conditions illustrated distinct dynamic enhancement characteristics. (d) TTP values of primary lesions across four conditions highlighted differences in enhancement kinetics. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis H test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, and Fisher’s exact test. Significantly different P values at P < 0.05 (*) or P < 0.001 (***). Abbreviations: ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; KD, Kimura’s disease; SS&MALT, Sjogren’s syndrome with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma; NF, neurofibromatosis; TIC, time-signal intensity curve; TTP, time to peak
