ABSTRACT
Objective:
To find the better imaging method for the diagnosis of sialolithiasis by comparing the 3 different imaging methods.Methods:
32 cases of salivary calculus were examined by sonography,X-ray and cone beam computed tomography(CBCT),the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value were compared among the 3 methods.Results:
The sensitivity and negative predictive value of cone beam computed tomography(95.8% and 80%) was significantly higher than those of sonography(83.3%,50.0%) and X-ray(58.3%,20%)(P < 0.05).Of three imaging methods there was no statistical difference in specificity and positive predictive value.Conclusion:
CBCT is more sensitive than sonography or X-ray in the diagnosis of sialolithiasis.
