Abstract

A radionuclide study is described utilizing a small volume of technetium 99m sulfur colloid to demonstrate the pulmonary aspiration of saliva. This is a possible cause of recurrent pulmonary infections even in patients off oral feeding. The salivagram is a useful technique to document these cases.
