[Measurement by means of 99mTc-pertechnetate of the function of salivary glands before and after stimulation with pilocarpine in cases of sicca-syndrome of the parotidic glands (author's transl)].

Judgement on xerostomia in systemic diseases of the salivary glands and on the sicca-syndrome as a side-effect of radiation therapy or of a treatment with psychopharmaca has been improved by the function test of the parotidic glands for each side individually with 99mTc-pertechnetate, particularly in view of the detection of lateral differences. Measurements of the salivation volume and activity are completive of the function test, yielding knowledge of the total excretory power of all the salivary glands. Functional remainders and reserves can be visualized objectively by additional utilization of the pilocarpine stimulation test (to-day performed with carbachol). The findings will be still more precise if the parotidic salivation is collected and measured for each side separately. This exploration method is appropriate for frequent controls in the course of a disease and for the forming of an opinion upon therapeutic effects of sialagogic agents.

[Determination of spleen size by roentgenographic and nuclear medicine methods (author's transl)].

Knowing the splenic size is important in many medical diseases. This paper describes methods how to measure the size of the spleen by palpation, scan and a roentgenogram with soft tissue technique. In 486 normals medium splenic length was 12,8 +/- 1,9 cm measured roentgenographically. In 60 patients with splenomegaly the correlation coefficient between roentgenologically determined size and scintigraphically measured splenic length was 0,89, between radiologically determined size and estimated splenic weight by scan was 0.69. Nuclear medicine methods are important for exact evaluation of the size of the spleen, roentgenography is adequate in screening and control examinations.
