What is a Salivary Gland Scan Test in Mumbai ?
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 Borivali, Kurla, and other parts of Mumbai.
How is Salivary Gland Scan done?
No needle or sample is involved. At an accredited imaging centre serving Borivali and Kurla, Mumbai, a radiographer performs the scan, which is painless and usually completed within 10 to 15 minutes. A qualified radiologist interprets the images and issues a report you can access on GetVisit. (Home collection does not apply to imaging.)
How accurate is Salivary Gland Scan?
Image quality and interpretation are the two pillars of accuracy. GetVisit's accredited centres serving Borivali and Kurla, Mumbai maintain modern equipment, and a qualified radiologist reviews each study before the report is issued.
Are there any risks to Salivary Gland Scan?
A standard X-ray uses a very low dose of radiation considered safe for diagnostic use; ultrasound uses sound waves and involves no radiation at all. If you are or might be pregnant, tell the centre in Borivali or Kurla, Mumbai beforehand so the safest approach can be chosen. There is no needle and no recovery time.
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 Mumbai
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 Chembur or Borivali, Mumbai. Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners, and remove jewellery before the scan.

Why Take a Salivary Gland Scan Test in Mumbai ?
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 Mumbai?
Mumbai's 21 million metropolitan population, annual monsoon flooding creating severe leptospirosis and dengue risk in Kurla, Andheri, and Ghatkopar, high corporate stress and commute burden, significant diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevalence, and a massive working population with irregular meal and sleep patterns make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential health investment for all 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 Mumbai.
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?
Results are delivered to your phone and stored securely on GetVisit. Any value the laboratory flags as critical is escalated for urgent review, and for everything else your doctor or a verified specialist can guide the next step at your convenience.
