Two hundred and nine of these lesions also underwent CT or MRI imaging.

Using predefined criteria, POCUS determined the nature of parotid lesions more definitively than the descriptive CT or MRI radiology reports (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt;.001). Sub\u2010analysis showed that ultrasonography was able to distinguish between benign pathologies with high degree of accuracy (Warthin tumor\u201482%, pleomorphic adenoma\u201464%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>POCUS can accurately distinguish between benign and malignant parotid lesions. POCUS may suffice as the only imaging study for benign lesions, obviating the need for additional cross\u2010sectional imaging. This can be combined with fine needle or core biopsy in the same visit, resulting in expedient diagnosis, low cost, and lack of radiation exposure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>2b, individual cross\u2010sectional cohort study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/lio2.887","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,11]],"date-time":"2022-08-11T10:18:35Z","timestamp":1660213115000},"page":"1402-1406","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Point\u2010of\u2010care ultrasound scan as the primary modality for evaluating parotid tumors"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8485-5764","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Harb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery Tufts Medical Center  Boston Massachusetts USA"},{"name":"University of Miami Miller School of Medicine  Miami Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8468-8727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher","family":"Zaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Massachusetts T.H.
