Conventional sialography may be helpful in the diagnosis of sialolithiasis.  Findings on sialography suggestive of sialolithiasis include:
*Filling defect within the duct

*[Finding 2]
*[Finding 3]
*Sialography excels at delineating the exact size and location of stones within the salivary gland ducts. The stone will be visualised as a filling defect within the duct. In some cases, contrast will not be able to pass beyond the stone.  However, if active infection is suspected, sialography is contraindicated due to the risk of exacerbating the extent of infection 2.

Overview

[Imaging modality] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

Other Imaging Findings

  • Conventional sialography may be helpful in the diagnosis of sialolithiasis. Findings on sialography suggestive of sialolithiasis include:[1]
    • Filling defect within the duct
    • In complete obstruction, contrast can not pass beyond the stone
  • Sialography is contraindicated in active infection of the involved gland.
  • Sialography, is replaced by CT scan and untrasound.
