title: Stimulated salivary clearance of technetium-99m pertechnetate.
abstract: A method to determine stimulated salivary clearance of pertechnetate is presented. It is easy to perform and separates normal patients (range 15.0 to 40.3 ml/min) from patients with known salivary disorders (range 1.2 to 10.6 ml/min).
