[Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance sialography for submandibular sialolithiasis].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the role of MR Sialography(MRS) in diagnosis of submandibular sialolithiasis.


METHODS
Twenty-one patients with submandibular sialolithiasis were scanned by MRS, the results of MRS were compared with those after proper treatment.


RESULTS
The results of MRS were consistent with those after proper treatment.


CONCLUSIONS
MRS has high diagnostic accuracy in diagnosis of sialolithiasis including submandibular sialadenitis.
