Used during sialography procedures involving the submandibular duct or the parotid duct. (cookmedical.com)
The sialography is indicated in cases of signs of sialodenitis, radiolucent stones, submandibular stones, deep parotid stones, and contraindicated in cases of infection, patients allergic to the radiograph contrast solution. (bvsalud.org)
Catheter1
Contrast sialography may be done through a catheter inserted into the duct and can differentiate between stone, stenosis, and tumor. (msdmanuals.com)
Ultrasonography3
Sialography has largely been replaced by sialoendoscopy and cross-sectional imaging, such as CT, MRI and ultrasonography. (wikipedia.org)
Ultrasonography is much easier to perform than sialography and seems to be replacing sialography in many institutions. (medscape.com)
90% and MRI appears to be more sensitive in detecting small stones and distal duct stones than ultrasonography or contrast sialography. (msdmanuals.com)
Duct1
Sialography revealed an oval-shaped filling defect in the dilated left Wharton's duct, which could suggest radiolucent calculus. (annalsafrmed.org)
The Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cost for the Sialography Test in Delhi starts at INR 8,000. (ganeshdiagnostic.com)
Clinically1
It is not as sensitive as sialography, but this is probably not clinically significant. (medscape.com)
Procedure1
What is the procedure for the Sialography MRI Screening Test? (ganeshdiagnostic.com)
Stones1
MRI sialography is done when infections, tumours, stones, or certain types of cancer are suspected. (ganeshdiagnostic.com)
Test1
Sialography is used to demonstrate the anatomy of the drainage system and is a very useful test. (medscape.com)
Subtraction sialography1
Reduced radiation exposure, short examination time and almost painless examinations with good patient tolerance proved to be the major advantages of digital subtraction sialography as a diagnostic tool. (acibadem.edu.tr)
Computed tomography1
Recently, diagnostic performance of computed tomography (CT) sialography is being explored and has been reported to have high sensitivity in detection of small sialoliths and allows differentiation of sialoliths from other calcifications in glandular ductal system. (nih.gov)
Sjogren1
This study was conducted to assess the utility of diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging with use of SPLICE technique and dynamic MR sialography after administration of tartaric acid, and to estimate the salivary gland function in patients with Sjogren syndrome (SS). (nii.ac.jp)
Contrast4
Contrast sialography may be done through a catheter inserted into the duct and can differentiate between stone, stenosis, and tumor. (msdmanuals.com)
90% and MRI appears to be more sensitive in detecting small stones and distal duct stones than ultrasonography or contrast sialography. (msdmanuals.com)
The sialography is indicated in cases of signs of sialodenitis, radiolucent stones, submandibular stones, deep parotid stones, and contraindicated in cases of infection, patients allergic to the radiograph contrast solution. (bvsalud.org)
Primarily sialography is used as a diagnostic tool, additionally it plays an important therapeutic role as salivary gland lavage in cases of recurrent salivary gland infections and in obstructive salivary gland disorders by helping in clearance of mucous plugs or small sialoliths within the ducts. (nih.gov)
Sialography reveals irregular dilations and strictures of the glandular ducts (a "cherry blossom" appearance). (empendium.com)
Sialography may suggest a space-occupying mass when the ducts are compressed or smoothly displaced around the lesion (the "ball-in-hand" appearance). (dentaldevotee.com)
Radiographic1
Sialography (also termed radiosialography) is the radiographic examination of the salivary glands. (wikipedia.org)
Technique1
Conventional sialography is considered as a useful and reliable technique in evaluation of salivary glands especially intrinsic and acquired abnormalities involving the ductal system and is useful for detection of non-radiopaque sialoliths which are invisible on routine plain radiographs. (nih.gov)
Dentist1
Sialography usually used by the dentist to check or see the salivary gland problems, such as blockages or Sjögren's syndrome. (dentalhealthcarecenter.net)
Imaging4
Diagnostic and technical advantages of the digital imaging and subtraction for sialography were investigated. (acibadem.edu.tr)
Imaging parameters of dynamic MR sialography were: echo spacing=11. (nii.ac.jp)
We conclude that DW MR imaging and dynamic MR sialography are extremely useful for detecting the early disease condition of SS. (nii.ac.jp)
Calculated ADC values and morphologic pattern of dynamic MR sialography were compared with the results of labial gland biopsy and Saxon test. (nii.ac.jp)
Test2
Sialography is used to demonstrate the anatomy of the drainage system and is a very useful test. (medscape.com)
Significant correlation was present between the results of dynamic MR sialography and Saxon test. (nii.ac.jp)
Sequence2
Dynamic MR sialography was obtained using a single-shot RARE sequence. (nii.ac.jp)
10. MR sialography: initial experience using a T2-weighted fast SE sequence. (nih.gov)
Significant1
Even in patients with early disease condition in whom static MR sialography showed no significant morphologic abnormalities, dynamic MR sialography showed abnormal response to acid stimulation. (nii.ac.jp)
Perform2
Most dentists can perform sialography in the office. (medscape.com)
When something is suspected of having gone awry, they may opt to perform a sialography. (floridassmiles.com)
Patients1
In all patients with SS, lack or reduced response to acid stimulation was seen on dynamic MR sialography. (nii.ac.jp)
