Service Providers for Sialogram Left parotid gland
A sialogram of the left parotid gland is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to evaluate the parotid gland and its duct system. During the procedure, a contrast dye is gently injected into the parotid duct (Stensen's duct), followed by X-ray imaging to identify any blockages, stones, strictures, or abnormalities in the gland. This test is typically performed when a patient has symptoms such as swelling, pain, or recurrent infections in the parotid gland. It helps in diagnosing conditions like sialolithiasis (salivary stones), sialadenitis (inflammation), or tumors. The procedure provides detailed visuals of the gland and its duct system to aid in treatment planning.
