Abstract
At our institution, computed tomography is the procedure of choice for evaluation
of suspected mass lesions of the major salivary glands. It affords exact anatomic
localization of a mass and allows simultaneous examination of the contralateral gland
and other regional structures of importance in salivary gland disease. Intravenous
contrast medium enhancement is always utilized; however, concomitant sialography has
never been necessary. Regional anatomy of the salivary glands with respect to computed
tomography imaging and clinical material demonstrating its efficacy are presented.
The neoplastic and nonneoplastic diseases affecting the salivary glands are reviewed.
