title: A computer-assisted method for semi-quantitative assessment of salivary gland diseases.
abstract: The authors report on a computer-assisted method that allows a semi-quantitative assessment of salivary gland function under normal and pathologic conditions. They illustrate some mathematical procedures suitable for this purpose and the results achieved in various salivary gland diseases.
