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.
