The sialographic appearance of a normal salivary gland is branching with bloom.
Sharpness of the image on the film can be increased by using a small focal spot.
Objects which cause attenuation of X-ray beam are shown as radiopaque in an image. Radiopaque materials absorb or block X-rays, leading to a reduced transmission of the X-ray beam. This results in the appearance of white areas or shadows on the X-ray image, indicating the presence of dense structures like bone, metal restorations, or calculi. Radiolucent structures, on the other hand, allow X-rays to pass through more freely, resulting in dark areas on the image.
