“…Characteristic MR imaging findings of the parotid gland in patients with SS are known: a heterogeneous signal intensity distribution (HD) on T1‐ and T2‐weighted images (salt and pepper appearance) (Izumi et al , ; Vogl et al , ), multiple high‐signal‐intensity spots (MHS) on MR sialography (apple tree appearance) (Ohbayashi et al , ; Tonami et al , ; Morimoto et al , ), and enlargement or reduction of the size of the parotid gland (Vogl et al , ; Kimura et al , ). Thus, although characteristic MR imaging findings (including those on MR sialography) for the parotid gland in patients with SS have been established, there are only a few reports on the true diagnostic significance of MR imaging of the submandibular and sublingual glands in this regard (Izumi et al , ; Sumi et al , ).…”

ObjectivesThe purpose of present paper is to critically address the recent advances on diagnostic procedures of Sjögren's syndrome, taking into account the attained local and systemic features of the disease.Material and MethodsA comprehensive review of the available literature regarding to the diagnostic approaches to Sjögren's syndrome was conducted. Eligible studies were identified by searching the electronic literature PubMed, Medline, Embase, and ScienceDirect databases for relevant reports (last search update January 2012) combining the MESH heading term "Sjögren's syndrome", with the words "diagnosis, diagnostic procedures, salivary gland function, ocular tests, histopathology, salivary gland imaging, serology". The authors checked the references of the selected articles to identify additional eligible publications and contacted the authors, if necessary.ResultsPresented article addresses the established diagnostic criteria for Sjögren's syndrome and critically evaluates the most commonly used diagnostic procedures, presenting data from author's own clinical experience. Diagnostic criteria for Sjögren's syndrome are required both by healthcare professionals and patients, namely in order to provide a rational basis for the assessment of the symptoms, establish an individual disease prognosis, and orientate the therapeutic intervention.ConclusionsSjögren's syndrome is quite a common autoimmune disease of which the diagnosis and treatment are not easily established. Due to its systemic involvement, it can exhibit a wide range of clinical manifestations that contribute to confusion and delay in diagnosis. The use of proper diagnostic modalities will help to reduce the time to diagnosis and preserve the health and quality of life of patients with Sjögren's syndrome.

“…Another technique based on traditional sialography is dynamic magnetic resonance sialography that may noninvasively and quantitatively evaluate the secretion function of parotid glands. In this method images are acquired before and after the administration of citric acid or vitamin C tablets placed on the tongue [19,20]. The pattern characteristic for pSS is the so-called "apple-tree-like structure" [19].…”

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects exocrine glands, especially salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to their progressive destruction. With highly differentiated clinical course the approach to the definition of pSS is constantly evolving and the pSS classification criteria have been modified over the past years. In the past sialography and scintigraphy were frequently used in pSS diagnostics. Recently no imaging method has been included in the pSS classification criteria. That raises the question about the benefits of using novel imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, elastography and magnetic resonance imaging to diagnose and monitor pSS patients. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the advantages and limitations of widely used imaging methods in pSS and their possible future development.

Dynamic magnetic resonance sialography as a new diagnostic technique for patients with Sjögren's syndrome

Abstract: Our study suggests that dynamic MR sialographic data in addition to MR sialographic images might be useful for the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome.
