MRI Sialography (MRI) near me in Chennai

The function of the salivary glands can be evaluated fairly accurately and reliably with an MRI sialography. There is no need for invasive procedures, and the MRI provides salivary gland analysis with information for diagnostics and preoperative planning.

MRI sialography is done when infections, tumours, stones or specific cancerous issues are suspected. The procedure involves an X-ray to determine if any abnormalities are blocking the flow of dye to the gland. A small, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into the opening of the salivary duct. There is minimal discomfort associated with the procedure.

The procedure doesn’t take longer than 30-120 minutes and is relatively safe.
