The technique of computed tomographic sialography (CTS) has been demonstrated to be valuable in the diagnosis of masses of the major salivary glands. Forty-one CT sialograms were performed in 35 patients using acinar glandular filling with oily contrast material. Twenty-two mass lesions and seven cases of inflammatory disease were identified. There were two instances of mild parotitis following the procedure. CTS performed with this technique was found to be a safe, accurate method for evaluating salivary gland masses.

Value of magnetic resonance imaging and sialography of the parotid gland for diagnosis of primary Sjögren syndrome.
Int J Rheum Dis
March 2023
Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou, China.
Aim: To evaluate the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance sialography (MRS) for diagnosis of primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) singly or integrated with 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatic Diseases (EULAR) classification criteria.
Methods: The diagnostic efficiencies of MRI, MRS, and labial salivary gland biopsy (LSGB) were evaluated. The prediction model was established by multivariate analysis.

Article Synopsis
- - Chronic obstructive sialadenitis (COS) is a recurring inflammation of salivary glands, with stricture being the most common cause found in a study of 333 patients undergoing sialendoscopy.
- - Factors such as lack of papilla distensibility (LPD), gender, and age were linked to COS, with submandibular gland issues often caused by lithiasis, while parotid gland problems were mostly due to stricture.
- - MR sialography (MR-Si) was the most effective diagnostic tool used, showcasing high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing COS, alongside newly identified associations between patient demographics and disease etiology.
Utility of Ultrasonography for Diagnosis of Salivary Gland Sialolithiasis: A Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: We hypothesized that ultrasonography for salivary gland stone detection would have a diagnostic accuracy similar to that confirmed by sialendoscopy, sialography, or surgery. Therefore, we evaluated the diagnostic characteristics of ultrasonography in terms of submandibular and parotid stone detection compared to confirmatory methods.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, the Web of Science, SCOPUS, and the Cochrane database to October 31, 2021.
Ultrasound and Sialogram Correlates to Parotid Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease.

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is an immune-mediated disorder that commonly manifests in the salivary glands. As a recently described disorder, the description and classification of IgG4-related disease is an ongoing process. Diagnosis of IgG4-related disease requires integration of clinical history, histopathology, and radiographic findings, including ultrasonography and sialography.
