Effect of successful therapy on tissue elasticity of salivary glands in patients with sialolithiasis. A representative B-mode scan image of a calculus in the left submandibular gland is shown, the region of interest on the left hand side in the image indicates the region of tissue elasticity measurement (a). Panels show results for submandibular (b) or parotid (c) glands before (pre) and after (post) successful therapy (mean ± SD for n = 7–25 per group; #p ≤ 0.05 vs healthy gland). ARFI, acoustic radiation force impulse imaging.
