Other Imaging Findings

A radiological procedure can also be used as a reliable and accurate way of diagnosing Sjögren's syndrome. A contrast is injected into Stensen's Duct (i.e., parotid duct, Steno's Duct), which is a duct opening from the cheek into the vestibule of the mouth opposite the neck of the upper second molar tooth. Widespread puddling of the injected contrast scattered throughout the gland indicates Sjögren's syndrome.
