The Role of Real-Time Tissue Elastography and Gray-Scale Ultrasound Histogram Analysis in the Diagnosis of Patients With Sjögren’s Syndrome

摘要

This study aims to evaluate gray-scale histogram analysis of B-mode ultrasound (US) images and US elastographic features of the parotid glands in patients with Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and to explore relationships with the ultrasonographic and disease activity scores in the light of histopathological findings.
