Echotomography of the parotids in 88 patients was successful in detecting normal parotid morphology or inflammation of the parenchyma (parotitis) in 100 p. cent of such cases, and detecting the precise localization of tumors (adenopathies or intraparotid tumors) up to 3 mm in diameter in 93 p. cent of cases. Though cystadenomas do not provide a specific image, their appearance is typical. Positive diagnosis was possible in 85 p. cent of mixed tumors of 1 cm diameter or more, and in 5 out of 7 cases of malignant lesions. The diagnostic value of this examination is markedly limiting that of parotid sialography.
对88例患者的腮腺进行超声断层扫描，在100%的此类病例中成功检测到正常腮腺形态或实质炎症（腮腺炎），在93%的病例中成功检测到直径达3毫米的肿瘤（腺病或腮腺内肿瘤）的精确位置。虽然囊腺瘤没有特异性图像，但其表现具有典型性。直径1厘米及以上的混合瘤中，85%可做出阳性诊断，7例恶性病变中有5例可做出阳性诊断。这项检查的诊断价值明显限制了腮腺造影的诊断价值。
