A comparative study of three-dimensional cone-beam CT sialography and MR sialography for the detection of non-tumorous salivary pathologies. Imaging of the salivary ductal system is relevant prior to an endoscopic or a surgical procedure. Various imaging modalities can be used for this purpose. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic capability of three-dimensional (3D)-cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) sialography versus magnetic resonance (MR) sialography in non-tumorous salivary pathologies. This prospective, monocenter, pilot study compared both imaging modalities in 46 patients (mean age 50.1 ± 14.9 years) referred for salivary symptoms. The analyses were performed by two independent radiologists and referred to identification of a salivary disease including

Juvenile recurrent parotitis: Diagnostic and therapeutic effectiveness of sialography. Retrospective study on 110 children. Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is characterized by recurrent episodes of painful parotid swelling, generally associated with non-obstructive sialectasia of the parotid gland. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic effectiveness of sialography in children affected by JRP. Clinical records of 110 outpatients with a diagnosis of JRP followed up from 2008 to 2017 at the Unit of Paediatric Otorhinolaryngology, Surgery Department of the Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital of Rome, were retrospectively reviewed. Data on demographics, number of acute episodes/year, course of disease, site of symptoms and duration of follow up were collected
Radiocontrast Dye Extravasation During Sialography. Evaluate the pathophysiology of contrast extravasation. Two hundred fifty-five sialograms at the University of Iowa from 2008 to 2016 were reviewed. Twelve sialograms (4.7% of total) were identified with main ductal extravasation. In each case, ductal stenosis as a diagnosis was supported by clinical history and the finding of difficulty in advancing the cannula into the duct during sialography. In all but 1 case, extravasation occurred at the distal duct with no further imaging of the ductal system. Each of the 5 cases treated with sialendoscopy with or without gland resection confirmed stenosis. Ultrasound evaluation of 5 of the cases detected ductal dilation in 4 (80%). Six of 11 computed tomography scans done before the sialogram were
Dynamic imaging with sialography combined with sialendoscopy to manage a foreign body in Stensen's duct. We describe sialography as a dynamic imaging modality useful in establishing the diagnosis and planning for treatment of a parotid gland ductal foreign body. Chart and radiographic imaging review of a 75 year-old male who had obstructive sialadenitis symptoms two years after welding slag pierced the cheek skin and identified as a 'piece of steel stuck in his cheek'. Sialography was used to demonstrate a foreign body adjacent to the parotid gland to indicate its presence as a mobile element within the ductal system associated with marked pre-obstructive duct dilation. Sialendoscopy was used to successfully remove the foreign body. In selected cases, the management of obstructive

Sparing Parotid Ducts Via MRI Sialography for Reduced Patient Reported Xerostomia Radiation-induced xerostomia (dry mouth) is one of the most common and severe toxicities experienced by patients undergoing radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. Radiation-induced dry mouth is a frequently experienced symptom and persists after treatment, potentially indefinitely. Current practice does
Sialolithiasis in an Accessory Submandibular Gland Identified by Magnetic Resonance Sialography. Accessory submandibular gland is a very rare anatomical variant. There have been only 6 reported cases of this entity in the English literature, only 1 of which was identified using magnetic resonance imaging. We report the case of a 39-year-old female with symptoms of left submandibular sialoadenitis who was diagnosed of sialolithiasis within the left accessory submandibular gland by magnetic resonance sialography (MR-Si). The calculus was palpated near the submandibular papilla and was extracted by an intraoral approach. One-year follow-up revealed no evidence of recurrence. This is the first case reported to date in the English literature of a patient with sialolithiasis within
Three-dimensional cone-beam CT sialography in non tumour salivary pathologies: procedure and results Non-tumour salivary diseases are common. Imaging studies are essential for their diagnosis and before undergoing an endoscopic or surgical treatment. In this study, we aimed at presenting our procedure and results obtained with three-dimensional CBCT (3D-CBCT) sialography for non-tumour salivary gland diseases. Patients with parotid or submandibular salivary symptoms were examined by 3D-CBCT sialography. They received an intraductal injection of 0.5 mL of water-soluble contrast medium maintained in the gland, followed by examination in a NewTom wide-field CBCT device. Images were processed with multiplanar and 3D reconstructions. A ductal exploration could be performed until the fourth
Sialoendoscopy, sialography, and ultrasound: a comparison of diagnostic methods To compare the accuracy of ultrasound, sialography, and sialendoscopy for examining benign salivary gland obstructions. 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, sialography, and sialoendoscopy. The signs of sialolithiasis, ductal stenosis, or normal findings were recorded after the examinations. Statistical analysis of the sensitivity and specificity of all the methods was performed, as well as a comparison of the accuracy of each method for different kinds of pathology (sialolithiasis or stenosis
Usefulness of Magnetic Resonance Sialography for the Evaluation of Radioactive Iodine-Induced Sialadenitis. Radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation therapy after thyroidectomy commonly leads to obstructive sialadenitis. Magnetic resonance (MR) sialography is an emerging imaging modality that enables morphological and functional changes to be evaluated. This study was conducted to investigate the usefulness of MR sialography for the evaluation of RAI sialadenitis. In addition, the authors evaluated the correlation of MR sialographic grading with symptom severity using a symptom questionnaire (SQ), and salivary gland (SG) functions as determined by salivary flow rates (SFRs) and salivary scintigraphy (SSG) parameters. Eighteen patients with RAI sialadenitis who underwent MR sialography imaging were
Conventional MRI techniques combined with MR sialography on T2-3D-DRIVE in Sjögren syndrome To investigate the value of conventional MRI techniques combined with MR sialography on T2-3D-DRIVE in the diagnosis of Sjögren syndrome (SS). 107 patients were divided into SS group and non-SS group. Conventional MRI techniques, such as T1WI, T2WI, and STIR images were used for changes of fat signal in the parotid gland, while the MR sialography were used for ducts dilation of the parotid gland. Among 93 SS patients, MRI identified abnormal fat deposit in the parotid glands in 86 patients. The fat signal based on MRI images showed 7 patients were in stage 0, 28 in stage 1, 14 in stage 2, 32 in stage 3 and 12 in stage 4. T2-3D-DRIVEMR MR sialography identified peripheral ducts dilation in 86 patients
Assessment of the role of cone beam computed sialography in diagnosing salivary gland lesions The purpose of this study was to assess cone-beam computed (CBCT) sialography imaging in the detection of different changes associated with lesions of salivary glands. This study consisted of 8 cases with signs and symptoms from salivary gland lesions. Conventional sialography using digital panoramic and lateral oblique radiographs and CBCT sialography were performed for each subject. The radiographs were evaluated by 3 radiologists independently of each other. The results were compared between conventional sialography and CBCT sialography in the evaluation of various lesions associated with the salivary glands. There was an agreement between the radiologists in interpreting the lesions that affected
to identify indicators of disease severity and assess the likelihood of re-intervention. This study enrolled 31 patients with a median age at symptom onset of 3.5 years. Māori children comprised 29 % of the cohort. Bilateral parotid gland involvement was observed in 74 % of cases, and patients experienced a median of six episodes annually. Lipiodol sialography was the most common initial intervention (61 %), associated with a 21 % re-intervention rate within one year. Sialendoscopy, an alternate treatment, required no re-interventions within the first year, but accounted for a smaller proportion of initial treatments due to limited expertise in the earlier years. Two patients (6 %) experienced major complications following lipiodol sialography. Minimally invasive techniques, particularly sialendoscopy
