[Usefulness of color Doppler flow imaging for blood flow in salivary gland].
We investigated the arterial and venous blood flow response in submandibular gland to secretory stimulation using color doppler flow imaging in six normal subjects. During examination secretory stimulation by lemon juice was used. The arterial and venous flow markedly increased after secretory stimulation in all normal subject. It was seemed to be that color doppler flow imaging was of value in evaluation of the blood flow in salivary gland.
