After inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, 20 patients remained for evaluation. A review of sialograms was conducted by a senior radiologist to identify co-existing pathologies (ex: stricture, sialectasis, sialolith) as well as characterize an overall aggregate impression and specific findings of ductal curvature, splaying, and truncation on a numerical scale from 1 (absent finding) to 10 (severely abnormal). Two normal sialograms served as controls. The density of each gland was assessed through CT measurement of Hounsfield units (HU). Variables collected included sex, age, symptoms, BMI, alcohol use, and comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Twenty patients with a total of 27 glands classified as \u201csialosis\u201d on sialography and 2 patients with normal sialography findings were evaluated. Indications for sialography included pain (90%), fluctuation in swelling of the parotid gland(s) (65%), or xerostomia (35%). Sialographic analysis identified 7 glands (26%) with sialosis to have an additional co-existing pathology (2 with strictures, 5 with sialectasis). Consistent features in glands with sialosis included ductal curvature, splaying, and truncation. CT analysis of glands with sialosis identified a median HU measurement of \u221236 compared to +30 for glands identified as normal (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.03).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sialography is useful in selected patients to evaluate for co-existing pathologies contributing to salivary symptoms.
