About the USG Parotid Gland
Ultrasound of the Parotid Gland is a painless sound wave test to assess the largest salivary gland on either side of the face in front of the ears. During this test, detailed real-time pictures of the gland and surrounding soft tissues are produced, which aid in the diagnosis of inflammatory conditions, salivary stones, cysts, enlarged lymph nodes, and both cancerous and noncancerous masses. With an advanced sonography system at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, you can receive accurate imaging for the diagnosis and tracking of parotid gland disorders.
What is a USG Parotid Gland Scan?
A USG Parotid Gland Scan creates real-time images of one or both parotid glands and nearby soft tissues without exposing the patient to radiation. The examination helps evaluate:
Parotid gland enlargement
Salivary gland stones (sialolithiasis)
Acute and chronic inflammation (parotitis)
Cysts
Benign and malignant tumors
Abscesses
Enlarged lymph nodes adjacent to the parotid gland
Ultrasound can also help determine whether a swelling is arising from the parotid gland or nearby soft tissues.
Why is a USG Parotid Gland Performed?
Your doctor may recommend this examination for:
Evaluation of parotid gland swelling
Investigation of pain around the jaw or ear
Detection of salivary gland stones
Assessment of cysts or abscesses
Evaluation of suspected benign or malignant parotid tumors
Follow-up of previously diagnosed parotid gland disorders
Guidance for ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) or biopsy when clinically indicated

The sonologist will review your medical history, symptoms, and previous imaging or laboratory reports before beginning the examination.
You will be asked to lie comfortably on the examination table with your head slightly turned to expose the side of the face and neck being examined.
A warm, water-based ultrasound gel will be applied over the skin in front of and below the ear.
The sonologist will gently move the ultrasound transducer over the parotid gland, surrounding soft tissues, and adjacent lymph nodes to obtain detailed images.
Both parotid glands may be examined for comparison when clinically indicated.
The scan evaluates the size, structure, inflammation, salivary gland stones (sialolithiasis), cysts, abscesses, benign or malignant masses, and enlarged lymph nodes.
If requested by your treating physician, the examination may also be used to guide a Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA) or biopsy under real-time ultrasound guidance.
The examination is painless, non-invasive, and uses no ionizing radiation.
The scan usually takes 15–20 minutes, depending on the clinical indication and findings.
After the examination, the gel will be cleaned off, and you can immediately resume your normal daily activities. The images will be reviewed by a radiologist, and the report is generally available within 1 hour.
