Advantages of MRIAdvantages of MRI
• Higher resolution of tissues• No ionizing radiation• Multiplanar imaging

Nuclear MedicineNuclear Medicine
• Radioactive compounds• Target tissues• Radioactive agents pools in
the target tissues• Detected and imaged by
external detectors (gamma camera).

Nuclear MedicineNuclear Medicine
• Shows structure and function of the target tissues
• Static and dynamic conditions• Scintigraphy scans or RN
(radionuclide) scans• Bone scans or salivary gland
scans

• 99mTcO4- - thyroid and salivary
gland scan • 99Tc phosphate - bone scan

Phases of Salivary Gland Phases of Salivary Gland ScanScan
• Flow phase:– Five to 10 mCi of 99mTcO4
– first 30 to 120 seconds – shows flow of blood
• Concentration phase:– next 30 to 45 minutes– demonstrate the anatomy and function
• Washout Phase:– administer sialagogue– demonstrates secretory capabilities

Cephalometric Cephalometric RadiographyRadiography• Reproducible and standardized
views• For measurements and assess
growth• Fixed source to film distance – 60
inches• Cephalostats and earplugs help in
reproducible positions

Phases of SialographyPhases of Sialography
• Ductal• Acinar• Evacuation
![Page 19: Advantages of MRI](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813061550346895d962f09/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Indications of SialographyIndications of Sialography
• Acute swelling secondary to ductal obstruction
• Recurrent Inflammation• Palpable salivary gland mass• Autoimmune Sialadenitis

• Contrast media is introduced in joint spaces
• Upper vs. lower joint space• Viewed by Image Intensifier
Fluoroscopy• Video recording allows study of joint
movement
