title: [Magnetic resonance applied to the diagnosis of Sjogren disease].
abstract: In order to characterize typical MRI-findings in patients with Sjögren's syndrome who present recurrent parotid swelling 15 patients with clinical diagnosis of this disease were examined in a prospectives study. Most of the patients showed bilateral enlarged glands with an inhomogeneous, nodular pattern. The signal intensity was very high, especially in the T2 weighted sequences.
