Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the parotid glands was performed in 23 patients with dry mouth. Each patient underwent lip salivary gland (LSG) biopsy and complete clinical and immunological assessment. MRI showed a quite specific nodular pattern in the parotid glands of patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS), especially those with severe histologic abnormalities in LSG. However no significant correlation could be detected between MRI score and both LSG biopsy class and immunological abnormalities. MRI of the parotid glands can be regarded as a useful noninvasive procedure with high positive predictive value for the evaluation of the salivary component in SS.
对23例口干患者进行了腮腺的磁共振成像（MRI）检查。每位患者均接受了唇唾液腺（LSG）活检以及全面的临床和免疫学评估。MRI显示干燥综合征（SS）患者的腮腺有相当特异的结节状表现，尤其是那些LSG组织学异常严重的患者。然而，MRI评分与LSG活检分级及免疫学异常之间均未发现显著相关性。腮腺MRI可被视为一种有用的非侵入性检查方法，对评估SS患者的唾液成分具有较高的阳性预测价值。
