Representative cases
Representative cases of SS-EPI and RS-EPI are shown in Figures
1 and 2 . A 67-year-old female was diagnosed as having a PTA of
the right inferior gland and presented high intensity mass on STIR;
however, there was considerable distortion on SS-EPI (Fig. 1). In
contrast, in the case of a 72-year-old female with a PTA at the left
inferior gland with DWI using RS-EPI, the lesion was identified with
less distortion (Fig. 2).
