[The assessment of the function of the nervus intermedius by means of functional salivary gland-scintigraphy].
Using functional scintigraphy of the salivary glands, the function of the nervus intermedius can be assessed by estimating excretory quotients for both submandibular glands. This method is preferred to the standard salivation test method of Magielski and Blatt, despite a minimal exposure of the patient to radiation from the injected Natriumpertechnetat. The technical course of this investigation, along with the indications for its use, will be presented.
