Overview

Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of Sjögren's syndrome are hypoechoic and inhomogeneous salivary glands, parenchymal inhomogeneity in the submandibular glands and focal or diffuse hypoechoic or anechoic foci in glands. There are no echocardiography findings associated with Sjögren's syndrome.
