Disease relevance of Sialography

• Sjögren's syndrome was confirmed in all 12 patients by means of Schirmer's tests, Rose Bengal staining tests, salivary gland scintiscans, radionuclide excretion studies in saliva, parotid sialographies, and lip biopsies [1].
• The diagnostic reliability of both sequences for diagnosis of luminal concretions in sialolithiasis and dilatation of the duct in duct stricture or chronic parotitis was equal, although slight intraglandular dilatation was appreciated only on 3D sialography [2].

High impact information on Sialography

• In pSS and sSS patients, a clear correlation was noted between tear and saliva quality and secretion rate, and between the Rose Bengal score and parotid sialography [3].
• Contrast media in sialography: a comparison of Lipiodol Ultra Fluid and Urografin 290 [4].
• A prospective, randomized study of 60 patients undergoing sialography was conducted to compare Lipiodol Ultra Fluid (UF) (Ethyl diiodostearate, May & Baker Ltd), with Urografin 290 (meglumine diatrizoate 52.1% w/v and sodium diatrizoate 7.9% w/v, Schering) [4].
• This paper reviews the normal anatomy in the region of the parotid and submandibular glands in the axial transverse and coronal planes as imaged by CT before and after sialography [5].
• These are followed by radiographic procedures, such as plain films, sialography and technetium scanning [6].

Associations of Sialography with chemical compounds

• The successful use of gadolinium in contrast sialography is described [7].
• Sialography with a non-ionic water-soluble contrast medium (Amipaque) [8].
• The functional evaluation of salivary glands using dynamic MR sialography following citric acid stimulation: a preliminary study [9].
• Radiographic quality and patient discomfort in sialography: comparison of iohexol with iothalamate [10].
• Salivary excretory index--quantification of the ascorbic acid response in dynamic radionuclide sialography [11].

Gene context of Sialography

• CT sialography, Part II: Parotid masses [12].
• MIP may be useful in contrast-enhanced CT examinations, such as sialography [13].
• CAT scan with sialography, carotid angiography during surgery, angle mandibulectomy and liberal incision to expose the great vessels for better control of bleeding are stressed to minimise the peri-operative complication and to assist in complete removal of the tumours [14].
• MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with newly diagnosed NPC underwent a pilot study using technetium-99m pertechnetate sequential radionuclide sialography to assess their salivary function before and at 3 months post radiation therapy [15].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Sialography

• Despite extensive investigation with conventional sialography, technetium pertechnetate scintigraphy, and computerized axial tomography, the correct preoperative diagnosis was not established [16].
