Course Content (Syllabus)
In this course, postgraduate students will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with various imaging modalities for salivary glands. Specifically, the capabilities of ultrasound will be presented in imaging and monitoring the pathology of salivary glands, as well as neighboring lymph nodes. Additionally, the possibilities of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be analyzed, with the presentation of both normal and pathological findings. Finally, there will be an opportunity to analyze data provided by Nuclear Medicine through positron emission tomography (PET), particularly in malignancies, as well as salivary gland scintigraphy as the sole functional examination for these glands.
Key points covered in the course include:
Ultrasound Imaging:
Presentation of ultrasound capabilities in imaging and monitoring pathological conditions of salivary glands and adjacent lymph nodes.
Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):
Analysis of the capabilities of CT and MRI, showcasing both normal and pathological findings in salivary glands.
Nuclear Medicine:
Examination of data provided by Nuclear Medicine, focusing on PET for malignancies.
Introduction to salivary gland scintigraphy as a unique functional examination.
