Computed Tomography of the Parotid Gland During Contrast Sialography

Anthony Mancuso, Dale H. Rice, William N. Hanafee

Open publisher page 39 citations

Abstract

By performing CT scanning during contrast sialography, tumors within the parotid gland can be shown and their configuration in relation to the remaining normal salivary gland and surrounding structures can be appreciated. This permits better evaluation of the relationship of the tumor to the facial nerve, possible extension of tumor beyond the gland, and benign versus malignant growth characteristics
