Evaluation of submandibular gland function using quantitative 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy in submandibular gland sparing radiotherapy for head-neck cancers, a prospective longitudinal study
Submandibular gland sparing is safe and significantly reduces radiation-induced salivary dysfunction. Dynamic 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy is a reliable, minimally invasive method for evaluating gland function.
