Functional Imaging for Benign Conditions of the Gastrointestinal Tract

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Radionuclide imaging of salivary glands is a noninvasive functional imaging modality that can assess perfusion, concentration, and excretory function of major salivary glands. The technique was first introduced by Boerner et al. in 1965 and subsequently modified by others [1].
