title: Imaging: diagnostic value of ultrasonography in Sjögren's syndrome.
abstract: Salivary gland ultrasonography is a promising tool for the evaluation of Sjögren’s syndrome. Cumulative data suggest that ultrasonography is comparable with older imaging modalities such as sialography and scintigraphy. However, certain issues remain to be addressed before it can be integrated into current or future classification systems.
