Combined CBCT and sialogram: report of three cases.
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been applied to an array of clinical scenarios. Its application within the oral and maxillofacial region continues to impress those involved with its use. Salivary gland imaging has been accomplished by standard radiographs, computed tomography, and more recently, CBCT. This article reviews the application of sialograms with CBCT and discusses three patients who received this procedure during their evaluations. The importance of the oral and maxillofacial radiologist is highlighted as a fundamental part of the health care team.
