Identification of sialolithiasis. Large salivary stone (white arrow) located in the proximal third of the right Wharton’s duct, visible as calcified concretion within an opacified salivary duct with 3D-CBCT sialography in maximal intensity projection (MIP) axial view (a), and as a strong hyposignal with upstream hyperintense ductal dilatation in MR sialography in MIP sagittal oblique view (b). Case of discordance between the two imaging examinations with a distal sialolithiasis of the left Stensen’s duct undetected on the sagittal MIP view in 3D-CBCT sialography (c) and diagnosed on the sagittal MR sialogram (d)
