Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate lacrimal gland (LG) ultrasounds in healthy individuals, identify sonographic lesions, and compare findings with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients.
- Researchers conducted ultrasound examinations on both healthy subjects and pSS patients while evaluating the agreement between four rheumatologists on their findings.
- Results showed good to excellent reliability in assessments, with significant differences in glandular inhomogeneity and fibrous appearance between healthy individuals and pSS patients, suggesting these characteristics may aid in differentiating the two groups.
