[Hepatobiliary scintigraphy: a functional test].
99mTc-diethyl-HIDA selective captation by hepatocytes and rapid excretion into bile provides a scintigraphic imaging of liver, biliary system and gall bladder. Substance blood clearance and liver half-life measurements add quantitative information on liver function. Normal, cirrhotic and jaundiced patients with extrahepatic obstruction were studied and each group showed significant characteristics. Through non-invasive biliary system visualization and liver function evaluation, hepatobiliary scintigraphy has its place as a complementary investigation in hepatology.

Differential diagnosis of xerostomia by quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy.
A new and rapid method of quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy has been developed. The uptake of pertechnetate in the glandular tissue and in a reference area in the neck are measured. The ratio between these measurements gives an index of salivary gland activity. By using this activity index, quantitative information on the functional state of the parotid and submandibular glands can be obtained. In cases of xerostomia such measurements may be particularly helpful in differentiating Sjögren's syndrome and sialosis and hence in the choice of appropriate treatment.
