Abstract
Objective: Recently, SPECT/CT has been widely accepted as a valuable diagnostic tool in dentistry. The aim of this study was to investigate submandibular sialolithiasis with CT and SPECT/CT, especially CT values, standardized uptake values (SUVs), and salivary gland excretion in the parotid and submandibular glands.
Methods: A prospective study was performed in 13 patients with submandibular sialolithiasis who underwent CT and salivary gland SPECT/CT. The CT values and the SUVs of parotid and submandibular glands were obtained using a workstation and software. The salivary gland excretion in the parotid and submandibular glands was defined as ratio of pre- to post-stimulation on SUVs. A p value lower than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: In the submandibular glands with sialoliths, the average CT values were significantly correlated with the maximum SUVs at ratio of pre-stimulation (r = 0.558, p＜0.05). The maximum SUVs at ratio of pre- to post-stimulation in the submandibular glands with and without sialoliths were 1.5 ± 1.1 and 2.1 ± 0.7, respectively (p = 0.026).
Conclusion: The salivary gland SPECT/CT SUVs can be useful in clinical practice for the quantitative management of parotid and submandibular glands in patients with submandibular sialolithiasis.
期刊介绍：
Dentomaxillofacial Radiology (DMFR) is the journal of the International Association of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology (IADMFR) and covers the closely related fields of oral radiology and head and neck imaging.
Established in 1972, DMFR is a key resource keeping dentists, radiologists and clinicians and scientists with an interest in Head and Neck imaging abreast of important research and developments in oral and maxillofacial radiology.
The DMFR editorial board features a panel of international experts including Editor-in-Chief Professor Ralf Schulze. Our editorial board provide their expertise and guidance in shaping the content and direction of the journal.
