Outline of Final Research Achievements

In oral floor, benign disease had significantly larger ADCs than malignant disease. Cysts had larger ADCs than sublingual gland inflammation and malignant disease. And, Hemangioma had larger microvascular volume fraction than cysts（p= 0.050）.　ADCs and microvascular volume fraction may be useful in the differentiation of　oral floor diseases.
