2017年4月2日 · Ultrasound provides an immediate diagnosis in acute or chronic inflammatory salivary diseases and can visualize sialolithiasis as small as 0.4 mm. Ultrasound is also an important imaging modality for salivary gland tumors, guiding fine needle aspiration (FNA) for cytological diagnosis.

Ultrasound is currently the most useful technique for salivary gland imaging. The glands are routinely evaluated for their size, shape as well as echogenicity and potential focal lesions.

With the use of high-frequency sound waves, the ultrasound machine can examine the structure of the major salivary glands. These glands include the parotid glands (located over the angle of the jaw) and the submandibular glands (located under …

Systematically examine salivary glands in transverse, anteroposterior, and longitudinal planes; Note parenchymal echogenicity and presence of focal abnormalities comparing each gland with contralateral; Normal echogenecity of major salivary glands

Recently, a great interest has arisen for salivary gland ultrasonography (SGUS) as a valuable tool for the assessment of major salivary gland involvement in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS.

Ultrasound of the salivary glands is a strong predictor of labial gland biopsy histopathology in patients with sicca symptoms

High resolution ultrasound is considered the first line imaging investigation in the management of a salivary gland swelling. This article describes the normal anatomy of the salivary glands and outlines the typical ultrasound appearance of some of …

2020年6月25日 · Salivary gland ultrasound—due to its wide applicability, versatility, availability, and low cost—is supported as a frontline evaluation and is frequently done as an in-office procedure by the treating surgeon. Contrast-enhanced CT may be as accurate as non-contrast CT in detecting sialolithiasis.

Ultrasound examination is standard in the initial evaluation of salivary disorders, providing a better assessment than palpation alone. Shortcomings include that the quality of assessment is operator and instrument dependent and it is inferior to sialography
