The authors propose a method for the quantitative functional exploration of the salivary glands using two objective criteria, on the one hand the level of fixation in the parotid of technetium 99m injected in the form of its pertechnate and on the other hand by the fraction of radioactivity found in different specimens of saliva collected in the course of a test carried out using a pharmacological agent free of toxic effects--lemon juice. The quantitative results obtained and its simplicity render the method particularly useful in evaluating the course of salivary function in all forms of disorder, pathological or iatrogenic.
作者提出了一种利用两个客观标准对唾液腺进行定量功能探索的方法，一方面是注射高锝酸盐形式的99m锝在腮腺中的摄取水平，另一方面是在使用无毒性作用的药物——柠檬汁进行的测试过程中收集的不同唾液标本中发现的放射性分数。所获得的定量结果及其简单性使得该方法在评估各种形式的疾病（病理性或医源性）中的唾液功能过程时特别有用。
