Scintigraphy of the salivary glands with technetium-sodium pertechnetate (99mTc) was undertaken on 320 patients with oral dryness or connective tissue disease using a computer assisted method that gave quantitative results about the major salivary gland function. Compared with clinical and histological data, scintigraphy provides a sensitive method, even though it is not specific, for detecting minimal injuries to salivary glands in patients suspected of having Sjögen's syndrome. Moreover, it might differentiate between the Sjögen-like syndrome and the sequelae of radiotherapy in patients with bone marrow graft. Scintigraphy of the major salivary glands could therefore form part of the routine investigation of patients with Sjögen's syndrome.
对320例有口腔干燥或结缔组织病的患者，采用能给出主要唾液腺功能定量结果的计算机辅助方法，用高锝酸钠（99mTc）进行唾液腺闪烁扫描。与临床和组织学数据相比，闪烁扫描提供了一种敏感的方法，尽管它不具有特异性，用于检测疑似干燥综合征患者唾液腺的微小损伤。此外，它可能区分骨髓移植患者的类干燥综合征和放疗后遗症。因此，主要唾液腺闪烁扫描可成为干燥综合征患者常规检查的一部分。
