sialoguide

Sialoguide is a reference resource designed to support learning and clinical practice related to the salivary glands. The term can refer to a digital atlas, database, or educational guide that collates information on gland anatomy, physiology, common disorders, and diagnostic and treatment approaches for sialographic procedures and related imaging.

Core content typically includes detailed anatomy of major glands (parotid, submandibular, sublingual) and minor glands; pathologies such as sialolithiasis, sialadenitis, neoplasms, and ductal strictures; imaging features across ultrasound, MRI, CT, and radiographic sialography; guidelines for performing sialography, including indications, contraindications, contrast administration, and complication management; and patient-suitable summaries of symptoms and self-care.

Audience and use. Primarily intended for clinicians—dentists, oral surgeons, radiologists, and physicians—alongside students and researchers. It serves as a reference for diagnosis, imaging interpretation, and treatment planning, and may include case vignettes, glossary terms, and update notices.

Format and development. Sialoguide appears as an online resource, mobile app, or printed atlas, maintained by medical experts and professional organizations. It emphasizes standardized terminology, cross-references to guidelines, and regular revisions to reflect advances in imaging and therapy.
