Choice of contrast medium in sialography

Sialography in diagnosis.

Choice of contrast medium in patients with impaired renal function undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

BACKGROUND No clinical trial has yet focused on contrast-mediated nephrotoxicity in patients with chronic renal failure exclusively undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of contemporary contrast media on nephrotoxicity in this high-risk patient population. METHODS AND RESULTS This prospective, randomized, double-blind, ...

Sialography in dog: normal appearance

The anatomy of dog salivary glands was studied on cadaver heads. The mandibular duct enters the oral cavity on the sublingual caruncle. The parotid gland duct enters the oral cavity on the cheek opposite the 4th upper premolar tooth. The zygomatic salivary gland duct enters the oral cavity opposite the first upper molar tooth. Prior to applying sialography to live animals, catheterization, inje...

Prospective comparison of magnetic resonance sialography and digital subtraction sialography.

We sought to compare the diagnostic utility of magnetic resonance sialography (MRS) and digital subtraction sialography (DSS) in patients with suspected sialolithiasis or sialadenitis. Sixteen consecutive patients (4 female and 12 male, mean age 51+/-16 years) with suspected sialolithiasis or sialadenitis underwent DSS by a standard technique and MRS. MRS was obtained with a T2-weighted single-...
