Abstract
US examination is an efficient method to assess major salivary gland involvement in the diagnosis of pSS. Sonoelastography is a modality which can contribute to the diagnosis by improving specificity in the differential diagnosis of pSS. Strain ratio measurement, which is a semi-quantitative method, increases the diagnostic effectiveness by providing high sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive values.
