ABSTRACT:

Background

To systematically evaluate the qualitative diagnostic value of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for parotid gland tumors. However, there is still a lot of controversy in this area, and the results of different studies are not consistent. Therefore, it is necessary to use meta method to analyze the significance of multimodal MRI in the diagnosis of parotid gland tumors.

Methods

This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of multimodal MRI for parotid gland malignancies. We performed a search in the databases of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Chinese BioMedical Literature (CBM). Quality evaluation and data extraction were performed for the included articles, and meta-analysis was performed on the included studies using Sta
