MRI Scan for parotid in Hyderabad
The parotid gland is a salivary gland in the cheek and is responsible for a large amount of saliva secreted in the mouth to lubricate food. Inside the parotid gland is an essential nerve called the facial nerve, and any condition of the parotid gland also affects the facial nerve. Since the parotid gland is a soft organ, we cannot visualize it on an X-Ray; therefore, we need to do an MRI scan.
