Comparative study of MR sialography and digital subtraction sialography for benign salivary gland disorders.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR sialography has become an alternative imaging technique for ductal salivary gland diseases. We compared the diagnostic accuracies of MR sialography and digital subtraction sialography in patients with successful completion of both examinations and benign salivary gland disorders. METHODS In a prospective study, we attempted to examine salivary glands in 80 patients w...
متن کاملMR imaging of salivary duct carcinoma.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is regarded as a high-grade malignancy in the current classification of salivary gland neoplasms. The aim of our study was to describe the MR imaging features of SDC. METHODS Nine patients with SDC underwent MR imaging study. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of SDCs were measured from diffusion-weighted images. Time-signal in...
متن کاملModern sialography for screening of salivary gland obstruction.
PURPOSE To revisit and reintroduce sialography as an important tool for the assessment and diagnosis of salivary gland obstruction. PATIENTS AND METHODS A sample of 30 consecutive patients undergoing sialography was selected. Parotid sialography was performed in 22 patients (12 females and 10 males). The patients undergoing parotid sialography presented with bilateral or unilateral enlargemen...
متن کاملFollow-Up MR Imaging for Cerebral Sparganosis.
The recent article on follow-up MR imaging for cerebral sparganosis is interesting. Li et al noted, “Migration is a notable feature of cerebral sparganosis.” This finding is quite interesting. Due to its basic nature, sparganosis is usually a chronic localized disease. According to a large series from Thailand, no observation of cerebral migration was noted. The “tunnel” sign is a new finding t...
متن کاملRadiation-induced xerostomia: objective evaluation of salivary gland injury using MR sialography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Xerostomia (dry mouth) is one of the serious complications of head and neck irradiation and has a strong influence on a patient's activities of daily living. MR sialography with salivary secretion stimulation provides additional functional information (salivary secretion reserve) and may contribute to the evaluation of the severity of xerostomia and predict the risk of de...
