title: [Selective scintillography of the salivary glands (author's transl)].
abstract: The salivary glands of 32 patients were studied with scintillography. Ten patients were normal controls, while the remaining 22 patients had various disease processes involving their salivary glands. Scintillography was performed by two methods: the standard technique utilizing intravenous isotope injection and selective scintillography. According to this latter method, the radioisotope used is administered only to the gland under investigation by selective catheterization. The present study includes the results of this work, the advantages and disadvantages of each technique employed, and the indications for further use of selective scintillography.
