[Abstract] Objective To investigate the value of arterial spin labeling (ASL) technology in the evaluation of early parotid gland damage in Sjögren's syndrome (SS).Materials and Methods Thirty patients with early SS who were diagnosed for the first time without treatment and no fat deposits in the parotid gland were collected, and 30 healthy volunteers were controlled. Parotid gland ASL imaging was performed, and parotid blood flow was measured. The difference between parotid gland blood flow between early SS patients and healthy volunteers was compared, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of parotid blood flow on early SS patients.Results There was no statistically significant difference in BF values between the left and right parotid glands of early SS patients and healthy volunteers (P＞0.05). The parotid gland blood flow of early SS patients was significantly higher than that of healthy volunteers [(22.54±1.98) vs. (20.46±2.45) mL/min/100 g, P＜0.01)]. The ROC curve evaluation of parotid gland BF value has good diagnostic efficacy for early SS patients. The optimal cutoff value is 20.79 mL/min/100 g, the area under the curve is 0.808, the sensitivity is 80%, and the specificity is 75%.Conclusions ASL technology can evaluate the changes of blood flow in parotid gland in patients with early SS, and has the potential to become a technique for early SS screening.
