A retrospective study of magnetic resonance sialography imaging applied in the prognostic evaluation of chronic obstructive parotitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnetic resonance sialography (MRS) can be used to clearly examine the main duct of the parotid and is widely applied in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive parotitis (COP). However, there are few studies on the classification, treatment options and prognosis of COP using MRS.

Methods

Clinical and imaging data were retrospectively collected from 41 patients with COP between January 2010 and December 2020 at the Ninth People's Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. All patients underwent MRS and were treated with intraductal irrigation.
