Abstract：
Due to lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary and lacrimal glands, Sjogren\'s syndrome (SS), a systemic autoimmune illness that mostly affects the exocrine glands, causes dry mouth (xerostomia) and dry eyes (xerophthalmia). Additionally, SS is associated with various comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, infections, musculoskeletal diseases, and cancers. Among patients with SS, xerophthalmia frequently arises as a complication, leading to insufficient tear production or rapid tear evaporation, thereby causing discomfort, irritation, and a gritty sensation in the eyes. This article aims to examine recent advancements in the imaging of the lacrimal gland in Sjögren\'s syndrome and briefly discusses the utilization of various imaging examinations for the lacrimal gland in this particular disease.
摘要：
由于唾液和泪腺的淋巴细胞浸润，干燥综合征（SS），一种主要影响外分泌腺的全身性自身免疫性疾病，导致口干（口干症）和干眼症（干眼症）。此外,SS与各种合并症有关，例如心血管疾病，感染,肌肉骨骼疾病，和癌症。在SS患者中，干眼症经常作为并发症出现，导致泪液产生不足或泪液快速蒸发，从而引起不适，刺激,眼睛里有一种坚韧不拔的感觉。本文旨在研究干燥综合征中泪腺成像的最新进展，并简要讨论在这种特殊疾病中泪腺的各种成像检查的利用。
