Techniques such as orthopantomography and ultrasound are usually employed for examination for submandibular calculi, but we have found transverse scanning of the submandibular gland by ultrasound to be safe and rapid. As the mandible and hyoid bone present a shadow there is a margin for possible error, but this technique enables these areas to be seen and thus checked: a submandibular calculus may be seen as a third shadow between the other two. Comparison showed ultrasound to be superior to orthopantomography. If the ultrasound is negative and there is a strong clinical suspicion of a submandibular calculus orthopantomography is the next step to be employed.
诸如曲面断层摄影术和超声等技术通常用于检查下颌下腺结石，但我们发现通过超声对下颌下腺进行横向扫描既安全又快速。由于下颌骨和舌骨会产生阴影，因此存在一定的误差空间，但该技术能够看到并检查这些区域：下颌下腺结石可能会表现为另外两个阴影之间的第三个阴影。比较结果显示超声优于曲面断层摄影术。如果超声检查结果为阴性，但临床高度怀疑存在下颌下腺结石，则下一步应采用曲面断层摄影术。
