This paper addresses how to perform an ultrasound assessment of the salivary and lacrimal glands, how to identify pathological changes, and how to score disease activity, focusing on the use for primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). It addresses the role of salivary gland ultrasound for diagnosing and management of patients with pSS and touches upon the use for differential diagnosis, including how and when to perform ultrasound-guided biopsies and injections.
