Radiation-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...
متن کاملComparative 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 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 کاملQuantitative assessment of salivary gland function by radioisotopic scanning in a randomized trial of Pilocarpine for prevention of radiation induced Xerostomia [Persian]
Introduction: Radioisotope scanning is the best method for objective assessment of salivary gland function. Thus, it was used in a randomized trial of concomitant pilocarpine for assessment of radiation-induced xerostomia, in addition to subjective evaluation by an approved questionnaire and objective standard xerostomia grading. Methods: Patients randomized in placebo-controlled trial of...
متن کاملRadiation-Induced Xerostomia
Xerostomia is a common complication following radiotherapy for head and neck cancers. This has long-term implications on the quality of life of these patients. The better understanding of salivary function and the interaction of radiotherapy dose-volume and fractionation with salivary function has allowed us to intervene with various modalities to prevent or treat this common complication. Thus...
