Ct 9300 and parotid : I really am not that familiar with a Ct 9300 of the teeth. It will show the parotid gland but only a small portion of it. My thoughts are that you probably had a tomogram of the teeth. A dedicated Ct of the neck will show the parotid gland nicely but needs to be done with contrast. Your kidney function should be checked prior to the test. If you are concerned about a mass see an ent first.
