title: Can we reduce the number of routine films required for contrast sialography?
abstract: A reduction in the number of radiographs for many investigations has been advocated. This study aims to assess the need for control views in sialography and whether the post-contrast lateral oblique radiograph would be satisfactory, at least initially, as the sole standard post-contrast film.
