title: [Nuclear magnetic resonance tomography in diseases of the parotid gland].
abstract: The clinical experience with Magnetic Resonance Imaging in parotid gland diseases of 13 patients in discussed. An excellent visualization of the surrounding anatomy, the intrinsic structures of the gland. such as the facial nerve and the lesion, which can be achieved by MRI only, will provide more detailed information for the surgeon and thus for the prognosis. On the other hand, the differentiation of the diseases is not yet improved and MRI will certainly not replace the clinical examination including aspiration cytology.
