The aim of this study was to investigate MR sialography and SPECT/CT for parotid glands in Sjögren's syndrome patients.
Thirty Sjögren's syndrome patients underwent MR sialography and SPECT/CT. The MR sialographic stagings of Sjögren's syndrome were determined by the criteria (stage 0: normal; stage 1: punctate appearance; stage 2: globular appearance; stage 3: cavitary appearance; stage 4: destructive appearance). The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the right and left parotid glands with SPECT/CT was obtained using a workstation and software. MR sialographic stagings and SUVmax of parotid glands were evaluated at pre- and post-stimulation and ratio of pre- to post-stimulation.
Regarding pre-stimulation, the SUVmax of stage 0 (31.9 ± 19.3) was significantly higher than that of stage 2 (19.7 ± 7.5, p = 0.046), stage 3 (10.2 ± 7.1, p < 0.001) and stage 4 (6.8 ± 4.3, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the SUVmax at ratio of pre- to post-stimulation of stage 0 (1.87 ± 0.55) was significantly higher than that of stage 3 (1.16 ± 0.30, p = 0.001) and stage 4 (1.16 ± 0.40, p < 0.001).
This study suggests that MR sialography and SPECT/CT SUV are effective tool for the management of Sjögren's syndrome patients.
本研究旨在探讨磁共振涎腺造影(MR sialography)和单光子发射计算机断层显像/计算机断层扫描(SPECT/CT)在干燥综合征患者腮腺中的应用。
30例干燥综合征患者接受了磁共振涎腺造影和SPECT/CT检查。干燥综合征的磁共振涎腺造影分期依据以下标准确定(0期:正常;1期:点状表现;2期:球状表现;3期:空洞状表现;4期:破坏状表现)。使用工作站和软件获取SPECT/CT检查时左右腮腺的最大标准化摄取值(SUVmax)。在刺激前和刺激后评估腮腺的磁共振涎腺造影分期和SUVmax以及刺激前与刺激后的比值。
关于刺激前,0期的SUVmax(31.9±19.3)显著高于2期(19.7±7.5,p = 0.046)、3期(10.2±7.1,p < 0.001)和4期(6.8±4.3,p < 0.001)。此外,0期刺激前与刺激后比值的SUVmax(1.87±0.55)显著高于3期(1.16±0.30,p = 0.001)和4期(1.16±0.40,p < 0.001)。
本研究表明磁共振涎腺造影和SPECT/CT的SUV是管理干燥综合征患者的有效工具。
