The authors describe the salivary gland function diagnostics by means of 99mTc-pertechnetate under the conditions of computer scintigraphy. Parameters suited for numerical evaluation were selected. The age-dependence of the parotid gland function was studied in 49 healthy subjects of different age-groups. The present results permit to exclude such a dependence. The values obtained may be used as basic documentation in evaluating pathological conditions of the parotid gland by means of function diagnostics.
