Salivary Glands

Diagnosis of Salivary Gland Diseases at RadCare: Advanced Precision and Exceptional Care

Salivary glands play a vital role in producing saliva, which aids digestion and protects the mouth from infections. In cases of dry mouth, underlying diseases such as autoimmune salivary gland disease (chronic sialadenitis) may require accurate diagnosis to identify the cause and establish an effective treatment plan.

Common Causes of Dry Mouth and Salivary Gland Diseases:

1. Autoimmune Diseases:
   • Such as Sjögren’s Syndrome, which significantly affects saliva production.
2. Chronic Sialadenitis:
   • Results from long-term inflammation, possibly due to infections or other diseases.

Techniques Used at RadCare for Salivary Gland Diagnosis:

1. Ultrasound:
   • A non-invasive technique providing accurate images of the salivary glands.
   • Helps detect inflammation, tumors, or structural changes in the glands.
2. Salivary Gland Scintigraphy:
   • Used to evaluate salivary gland function.
   • Enables the detection of saliva flow disorders and determines gland activity levels.
