The goal of this study was to determine whether high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) microscopy coil imaging can improve the depiction parotid masses. A total of 14 parotid masses, including 7 salivary neoplasms, 2 abnormal lymph nodes, and 5 benign cystic lesions were imaged with T2-weighted and fat-suppressed postcontrast T1-weighted sequences using a 47-mm diameter microscopy coil in addition to conventional MRI sequences acquired with a conventional head and neck neurovascular coil. Compared to conventional parotid MRI sequences, microscopy coil images provided better definition of the margins of neoplasms, provide more detailed definition of lymph node morphology, and better depict certain cyst contents in the superficial portions of the parotid gland. The microscopy coil images provided significantly better definition of lesions and surrounding tissues within the superficial parotid gland with resptect to the deep parotid gland structures due to loss of signal. Furthermore, the fat-suppressed postcontrast T1-weighted microscopy coil images were significantly better than the corresponding T2-weighted images for delineating the superficial parotid gland. Ultimately, the microscopy coil sequences added over 10 minutes to the examination time.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become established as an important imaging modality for the clinical management of disease. This is primarily due to the great tissue contrast inherent in magnetic resonance images of normal and diseased organs. Due to the wide availability of high field magnets and the ability to generate large and rapidly switched magnetic field gradients there is growing interest in applying high resolution MRI to obtain microscopic information. This symposium on MRI microscopy highlights new developments that are leading to increased resolution. The application of high resolution MRI to significant problems in developmental biology and cancer biology will illustrate the potential of these techniques.In combination with a growing interest in obtaining high resolution MRI there is also a growing interest in obtaining functional information from MRI. The great success of MRI in clinical applications is due to the inherent contrast obtained from different tissues leading to anatomical information.
