Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sialography is an imaging technique used to visualize the salivary glands and ducts. Abnormal findings in a sialography would include conditions directly affecting the salivary glands such as salivary stones (D) and mixed parotid tumors (E). Conditions like biliary stones, tracheoesophageal fistula, coronary artery disease, and leiomyosarcoma are unrelated to the salivary glands and would not be identified through sialography.
