[A combined method of sialography and CT scan of the parotid gland].
Computed tomography (CT) of parotid gland was performed on 40 patients, immediately following sialography. The results of the combined CT-sialography were compared with those of sialography alone and are presented here. We have come to the conclusion that the main indication for this method, in the study of the parotid gland, is the mass-pathology, particularly situated in deep-lobe and in the pharyngo-maxillary space.
