[Abstract] Objective: To quantitatively measure the fat fraction (FF) of parotid gland in patients with early Sjogren's syndrome and healthy volunteers by using 3.0 T MR IDEAL-IQ sequence, and to evaluate the infiltration of parotid gland fat, so as to provide a new diagnostic basis for the clinic.Materials and Methods: From January 2019 to July 2019, 31 female patients with early Sjogren's syndrome and 30 healthy female volunteers admitted to Qingdao municipal hospital were enrolled in the routine parotid MRI sequence scanning and the IDEAL-IQ sequence axial scanning. The GE ADW 4.6 workstation processing software was used to quantitatively measure the FF value of the parotid gland, and statistical analysis was performed on the FF values of the bilateral parotid glands in the early Sjogren's syndrome patients and healthy volunteers.Results: There was no significant difference in age and BMI between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no differences on FF values in the left and right parotid gland in patients with early Sjogren's syndrome andhealthy volunteers (P>0.05). The mean FF value of parotid gland in patients with early Sjogren's syndrome was significantly higher than that in the normal group (48.84±11.26 vs 32.15±6.58, P<0.01). The mean FF 37.62 was taken as the optimal value for early Sjogren's syndrome diagnosis (AUC=0.92, sensitivity 0.88, specificity 0.81).Conclusions: The IDEAL-IQ sequence and FF value of parotid gland play a certain role in the diagnosis of early Sjogren's syndrome, which can provide valuable information for the diagnosis of early Sjogren's syndrome.
