title: [Sonographic analyses of obstructive diseases of the salivary gland using intraductal applications of contrast agent].
abstract: Obstructive diseases of the salivary glands are a common problem of the salivary glands; often based on Sialolithiasis, duct stenosis, or other rarer reasons. There exist several diagnostic features to classify the disease; however, ultrasound or conventional radiological imaging does not provide a diagnosis in 5-10% of all cases. The intraductal applied contrast-enhanced ultrasound (IA-CEUS) improves the visualization of obstructive diseases of the salivary glands; simultaneously an evaluation of the parenchyma of the glands is possible. We think IA-CEUS is a promising tool, which improved the diagnostic assessment capabilities of ultrasound and results in a better treatment for patients with obstructive salivary gland diseases.
