Normal perfusion and adaptation thereof to stimuli of the salivary glands.
Conditions
Interventions
The first 3 scans have no intervention. De last scan will be acquired during
stimulation or suppression of salivation (random). Stimulation of salivation is
achieved by citric acid, smelling food or

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The semi-quantitative perfusion signal will be measured on ASL MR maps from representative slices of the parotid and submandibular glands. Perfusion will be expressed in mL/min/100g tissue. This will be used to calculate the normal value (median) with confidence interval per gland type. The variation between separate scans will be used to calculate the intra- and inter-day variation. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The detectability of effects will be estimated based on comparison of baseline scans with intervention scans (stimulation or suppression of salivation). | — |
