Prospective comparison of magnetic resonance sialography and digital subtraction sialography

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-...

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...

Magnetic Resonance Sialography Findings of Submandibular Ducts Imaging

PURPOSE We aimed to assess the problem solving capability of magnetic resonance sialography (MR sialography), a noninvasive method for imaging submandibular gland ducts and determining duct-related pathologies, by comparing diseased and healthy cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted radiological assessment on a total of 60 submandibular glands (mean age 44.7) in 20 cases and 10 volunteers....

Sialography in diagnosis.

Sialoendoscopy, sialography, and ultrasound: a comparison of diagnostic methods

OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy of ultrasound, sialography, and sialendoscopy for examining benign salivary gland obstructions. METHODS In this prospective study, patients with symptoms of obstruction of the major salivary gland duct system presenting at the ENT Clinic University Hospital, Ostrava, from June 2010 to December 2013 were included. All patients (n=76) underwent ultrasound, sial...
