title: [Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance sialography for submandibular sialolithiasis].
abstract: 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.
