[Sialography with the time-pressure curve monitors].
A new procedure was established for sialography that it is monitored by the time-pressure curve during automatically continuous infusion of Urografin 76%. Shape of the curves in 10 normal parotid glands shows firstly the injection pressure rises to the highest peak rapidly, then falls slowly. Eventually the pressure remains constant despite continued infusion. At that time, mean pressure is 7.3kPa (range is 5.3-9.3 kPa). 3 radiographs are taken at 1 minute intervals from the time of the injection pressure beginning to keep constant. The result is that the second sialogram image is the most satisfied.
