The aim of this study was to investigate of salivary gland dysfunction with single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), especially the relationship between maximum standardized uptake value (SUV
Five patients (2 submandibular sialolithiasis, 2 Sjögren's syndrome, and 1 parotitis) who underwent SPECT/CT were included in this study. The salivary gland excretion function was defined as A (pre-stimulatory 20 min after injection of Tc-99m pertechnetate)/B (post-stimulatory 40 min after injection of Tc-99m pertechnetate) using SUV

The results of the present study indicate that SUV
