What is a Salivary Gland Scan Test in Delhi ?
What is Salivary Gland Scan?
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. It is non-invasive and shows internal structures directly, providing information that blood and urine tests cannot.
What does Salivary Gland Scan show?
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.
What symptoms suggest Salivary Gland Scan may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Salivary Gland Scan when a patient reports localised pain, swelling, or injury, a lump or restricted movement, or an abnormal finding on an earlier test that needs to be examined directly. If you have these symptoms, GetVisit offers booking and home collection across Shahdara, Dwarka, and other parts of Delhi.
How is Salivary Gland Scan done?
This is an imaging scan, not a blood or fluid test, so no sample is collected. A qualified radiographer positions you at an accredited GetVisit-partnered imaging centre in Shahdara or Dwarka, Delhi and captures the images in a few minutes. A radiologist reviews them and your report is made available through GetVisit.
How accurate is Salivary Gland Scan?
Image quality and interpretation are the two pillars of accuracy. GetVisit's accredited centres serving Shahdara and Dwarka, Delhi maintain modern equipment, and a qualified radiologist reviews each study before the report is issued.
Are there any risks to Salivary Gland Scan?
Imaging is safe and non-invasive. Ultrasound and MRI use no ionising radiation; X-ray and CT use carefully controlled low doses justified by the diagnostic benefit. Inform staff at the Shahdara or Dwarka, Delhi centre if you are pregnant or have implants or metal devices, so precautions can be taken.
Did you know?
A salivary gland scan (salivary scintigraphy) is a nuclear medicine test that evaluates salivary gland function.
Salivary Gland Scan Test Preparation in Delhi
Fasting and dietary instructions:
Most imaging scans need no fasting. Some abdominal ultrasounds require a few hours of fasting or a full bladder, so follow the specific instruction shown when you book, or ask the centre.
Medication guidance:
Continue your regular medication unless told otherwise. Tell the centre if you have diabetes, kidney problems, or allergies, especially if a contrast study is planned.
What to bring:
Bring your doctor's referral, a valid photo ID, your insurance card if using cashless OPD, and any previous scans or reports so the radiologist can compare.
Timing:
Book a slot that suits you at an accredited GetVisit centre in Punjabi Bagh or Karol Bagh, Delhi. Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners, and remove jewellery before the scan.

Why Take a Salivary Gland Scan Test in Delhi ?
When does a doctor order Salivary Gland Scan?
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.
Who should get Salivary Gland Scan done in Delhi?
Delhi's 30+ million population, India's most severe urban air pollution, one of the country's highest combined diabetes and cardiovascular disease burdens, extreme seasonal temperature range (from 3°C in January to 48°C in May), and monsoon infection risk across Dwarka, Rohini, Shahdara, and Uttam Nagar make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential part of health management for all city residents. Those who benefit most from Salivary Gland Scan include patients needing structural assessment that bloodwork cannot provide, and anyone under surveillance for a previously detected abnormality in Delhi.
What can Salivary Gland Scan help detect?
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 do Salivary Gland Scan results mean?
An imaging report describes what the scan shows and whether it is normal or reveals a specific finding. A qualified radiologist interprets the images, and your doctor explains what any finding means for you and whether a further test or treatment is needed. The FAQs below cover what this scan can and cannot show.
How often should Salivary Gland Scan be repeated?
For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends , typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.
What happens after Salivary Gland Scan results are ready?
Book a follow-up consultation after reviewing your results. GetVisit stores your reports alongside your previous test history, so your doctor sees your full health trend, not just today's snapshot. This longitudinal context significantly improves the clinical value of each repeat test.
