What is a Salivary Gland Scan Test in Bangalore ?

A salivary gland scan measures how well your salivary glands take up and release a small, safe tracer. The test shows gland activity and drainage rather than giving detailed pictures of anatomy. Saliva is important for chewing, swallowing, speech, taste, and protecting teeth. This scan helps detect reduced function, blockages from stones, infection, inflammation, autoimmune conditions like Sjögren’s syndrome, and damage after radiation or surgery. Doctors use it to confirm causes of dry mouth or gland swelling. Results help guide medical treatments, removal of obstructions, or decisions about surgery and follow-up care. The procedure uses low radiation and is generally safe for most patients.

Salivary Gland Scan Test Preparation in Bangalore

Why Take a Salivary Gland Scan Test in Bangalore ?

Salivary Gland Scan is a nuclear medicine imaging procedure usually ordered from an imaging or nuclear medicine panel when patients report dry mouth, gland swelling, pain, or recurrent infections. It helps diagnose obstruction, infection, autoimmune damage like Sjögren’s, tumors, or radiation-related loss of function. Abnormal results can come from stones, infections, autoimmune disease, prior radiation, or medications that reduce saliva. Family history of autoimmune disease or head and neck cancer may raise the need for testing.

What is a salivary gland scan in Bangalore?plus

A salivary gland scan (salivary scintigraphy) is a nuclear medicine test that evaluates salivary gland function. A small amount of radioactive tracer (usually technetium) is injected and a gamma camera images tracer uptake and secretion over time. It helps diagnose conditions like Sjögren’s syndrome, obstruction or inflammation. The test is noninvasive, may use a sialogogue (lemon juice) to stimulate saliva, and carries low radiation risk.

How do doctors check salivary glands in Bangalore?plus

Doctors check salivary glands by taking a history and examining the face and mouth, palpating parotid, submandibular and sublingual areas for swelling, tenderness or masses, and expressing ducts to assess saliva flow. They may inspect duct openings, order imaging (ultrasound, sialography, CT or MRI) to find stones or tumors, and perform lab tests, cultures or biopsy if infection or malignancy is suspected.

What is the best scan for salivary glands in Bangalore?plus

Ultrasound is the best initial scan for salivary glands—noninvasive, no radiation, and excellent for detecting stones, cysts and superficial masses. MRI provides superior soft-tissue detail and tumor staging, while CT better demonstrates calcified stones and bone involvement. Conventional or MR sialography evaluates ductal anatomy, and scintigraphy assesses gland function. Choice depends on the clinical question.

Does a CT scan show salivary glands in Bangalore?plus

Yes. A CT scan can visualize the major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, sublingual) and nearby tissues, identifying stones, infection, abscess, inflammation, masses, and bony involvement. IV contrast improves soft‑tissue detail. Ultrasound and MRI are complementary—ultrasound for superficial glands and stones, MRI for soft‑tissue characterization—but CT is especially useful for calcifications and acute evaluation.

What are symptoms of salivary gland problems in Bangalore?plus

Salivary gland problems can cause swelling or a lump near the jaw, under the ear, or beneath the tongue; pain or tenderness (often worse with eating); dry mouth or reduced saliva; a bad taste or pus draining into the mouth; difficulty opening the mouth or swallowing; redness and fever with infection; and painless persistent swelling that may indicate a blockage or tumor. Seek medical review.

How much does a salivary gland ultrasound cost in Bangalore?plus

Cost varies by country and facility. In the US a salivary‑gland ultrasound typically ranges from $200–$1,000. In the UK it’s usually free on the NHS; privately expect about £100–£400. In India prices range roughly ₹700–₹4,000. Final cost depends on clinic type, imaging complexity, whether a radiologist’s report or procedure guidance is required, and local diagnostic tariffs.
