Evaluation of lacrimal gland vascularization using superb microvascular imaging: A potential diagnostic tool in Sjögren’s syndrome
Evaluation of the lacrimal gland by the SMI was found to be excellent in predicting the likelihood of individuals having pSS compared to CDUS and PDUS. This technique may serve as a reliable and noninvasive adjunctive tool for assessing the degree of lacrimal vascularity in pSS.
