腮腺CT影像报告与数据系统的诊断标准

The diagnostic criteria of PI-RADS

PI-RADS Criteria
PI-RADS, Parotid Imaging Reporting and Data System.
1: Normal parotid gland There are definitely no masses in the parotid gland
2: More likely benign (1) Multiple bilateral or unilateral masses presented regular arc border and oval contour with enhancement and without enlarged or necrotic lymph nodes around the parotid gland and neck; (2) A single tumor may also be considered if it is typical (e.g. oval, with obvious and uniform enhancement in the first enhancement phase, with smooth clear border or a low-density fat envelope)
3: Indeterminate (1) Single, round, no enhancement or uniform enhancement, most of the boun-dary clear, for example majorly clear or partially ill-defined; (2) Granular with uneven enhancement but definite boundary; (3) Multiple without enhancement, and without enlarged or necrotic lymph nodes around the parotid gland and neck; (4) Small tumors, that means, all tumors diameter less than 1 cm are included, regardless of their enhancement features
3b: Inflammation including Sjögren
syndrome and IgG4
In multiple gland, lesions are diffuse, with enhancement, without necrotic lymph nodes around the neck
4: Probably malignant (1) Single lesion, the shape is slightly irregular, part of the boundary is indistinctly (the boun-dary marked 3 or 4) or the membrane enhancement with villous edges; (2) The enhancement type is medium enhancement even slightly enhancement, solid lesion with little or without cystic degeneration; (3) Soft tissue density or with partial fluid especially with calcification, a small amount of unilateral diffuse; (4) Have large masses of irregular calcification with swelling lymph nodes but without necrosis lymph nodes
5: Highly suggestive malignancy (1) Necrotic lymph nodes are seen in the neck; (2) The boundary is unclear, the shape is irregular; (3) The border of the surrounding muscles, bones or fat tissues are not clear, which means destruction
6: Already had malignant diagnosis Had pathological result to pronounced it is a malignant neoplasm
7: Unsatisfied illustration on CT The density of neoplasm and the parotid is too nearly to find out what the neoplasm is really like. But couldn’t exclude that a neoplasm may exist
