Research Salivary Glands Tumor By Metatron 4025 Hunter
Frequency of large space-occupying lesions of salivary glands in China reaches up to 7% from all diseases of maxillofacilal area. Pleomorphic adenomas are the most common tumors, making from 50% to 65.7% (according to various researches) of all space-occupying lesions of large salivary glands. Diagnostics of such adenomas presents certain difficulties due to uniformity of clinical and instrumental diagnostic signs; as a result, diagnostics error rate varies from 7 to 46%.
3D NLS-graphy demonstrated 100% of sensitivity, 96.3% of specificity and 97.7% of accuracy in detection of pleomorphic adenomas of large salivary glands; CT demonstrated 97.6, 96.4, 97.6% respectively in doing so. 3D NLS-graphy is the main imaging method.
3D NLS-graphy of salivary glands was carried out according to standard procedures. 3D NLS-graphy was performed using metatron 4025 hunter system and the possibility of three-dimensional (3D) visualization of salivary glands.
