Abstract
Salivary gland tumors are relatively rare, constituting 3% of all head and neck neoplasms. In patients with salivary gland malignancies, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET is clinically useful in initial staging, histologic grading, and monitoring after treatment. According to clinical research data hitherto, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET is expected to be an effective diagnostic tool in the management of salivary gland tumors.
