The efficiency of using magnetic resonance imaging in the differential diagnosis of salivary gland tumors was evaluated. Significant differences in the value of the measurable diffusion coefficient was found between malignant tumors and pleomorphic adenoma (p < 0.001), adenolymphoma (p < 0.01), and lymphangioma (p < 0.01).
