Context.-Fine-needle aspiration of salivary gland lesions can be particularly challenging for pathologists. There are numerous neoplasms that occur in this area and several cytologic variations of each specific lesion.

Objective.-To present and discuss a practical pattern recognition approach to fine-needle aspiration diagnosis, which includes categorizing lesions that share a certain overall cytologic architectural pattern, followed by identifying unique cellular characteristics that ...

	Value of technetium-99m pertechnetate imaging in the differential diagnosis of salivary gland lesions The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology ; INTRODUCTION A neoplasm of the parotid gland arises as a "cold" area on a salivary gland scintigram, whatever the nature of the neoplasm, with the exception of a Warthin' s tumor (papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum) and some forms of oxyphilic adenomas. These latter tumors show increased uptake of
	Quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology ; Objective: Uptake of ^sup 99m^Tc-pertechnetate in salivary glands reflects intact salivary gland parenchyma. However, no standardized protocol for an accurate quantification of parenchymal function has been established so far. Methods: In this paper we report on a validated acquisition protocol
	Role of ^sup 18^F-FDG PET/CT in Management of High-Grade Salivary Gland Malignancies The Journal of Nuclear Medicine ; The role of ^sup 18^F-FDG PET/CT for planning the treatment of highgrade salivary gland malignancies was investigated and was compared with that with using contrast-enhanced CT. Methods: The subjects chosen for the study had high-grade cancer of the salivary gland, as confirmed by surgical

	Salivary gland scintigraphy: The use of semiquantitative analysis for uptake and clearance Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology ; Objective: Quantitative analysis of ^sup 99m^Tc-pertechnetate salivary gland scintigraphy has been used in the evaluation of salivary gland function, but so far no one method can be considered optimal for this task. In this study, a semiquantitative method providing 2 functional parameters for
