1931 Brit. Jrnl. Surg. 19 142 Sialography will demonstrate abnormalities, dilatations, and obstructions of the larger and smaller parotid ducts.
1960 Radiology 74 138/1 Secretory sialography has been a useful aid in determining whether tumors in the submaxillary and parotid regions are within or adjacent to the major salivary glands.
1975 Radiology 117 220/1 Sialography, the demonstration of ducts and parenchyma of the major salivary glands by injection of contrast material in the gland's main secretory duct, has been practiced since its first description by Arcelin in 1913.
1977 Proc. Royal Soc. Med. 70 483/2 In the ‘sicca’ or Sjogren syndrome, Patey & Thackray (1955) have described lymphoid tissue in and around intralobar ducts which breaches the walls and allows radiopaque dye to escape during sialography, causing ‘punctate sialectasis’.
