Résumé
The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of ranulas. In addition, to elucidate DWI findings and ADC values of other representative masses in and around the floor of the mouth. DWI findings and ADC values in 35 patients with ranulas and 33 patients with other masses were retrospectively reviewed with a central focus on cystic masses or lesions that may have cyst-like components in and around the floor of the mouth based on the diagnosis of each respective disease. Ranulas were all well-defined, homogeneous masses with high signal intensity on DWI. The mean ± standard deviation ADC value of the 35 ranulas was 2.59 ± 0.31 × 10 The characteristic DWI and ADC findings of ranulas can be determined accurately, and these data can be significantly useful in the differential diagnosis of many kinds of diseases in and around the oral floor.
