OR
Echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an echocardiography/ultrasound suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of Sjögren's syndrome include:[1][2][3]
- Hypoechoic and inhomogeneous salivary glands
- Focal or diffuse hypoechoic or anechoic foci in glands
- Atrophic submandibular glands (sagittal diameter <8 mm)
- Enlarged parotid glands (sagittal diameter >20 mm)
