Gamma camera images of the salivary gland using 99mTc. Report of four cases.
Following the intravenous injection of 99mTc pertechnetate, the gamma camera enabled us to define the dynamic characteristics of salivary gland function as well as morphologic characteristics in a normal patient and in three patients with diseased parotid glands. We will continue this study in an attempt to define further the functional and morphologic characteristics of abnormal salivary glands.
