  • Title: Imaging of the salivary glands.
    Author: Weissman JL.
    Journal: Semin Ultrasound CT MR; 1995 Dec; 16(6):546-68. PubMed ID: 8747417.
    Abstract:
    CT and MRI have greatly facilitated evaluation of pathology of the three pairs of major salivary glands and the hundreds of minor salivary glands. Imaging can frequently offer a specific histological diagnosis for benign and malignant neoplasms of the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. Obstruction, infection, autoimmune processes, and congenital anomalies also are readily diagnosed. CT and MRI studies assess the anatomic extent of minor salivary gland neoplasms. Sialography continues to provide useful information about intrinsic abnormalities of the parotid and submandibular ducts.
