[Abstract] Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease, and imaging examinations of the salivary glands play an important role in its diagnosis. Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging is a kind of multi-b diffusion weighted imaging, which can reflect and quantify the diffusion of pure water molecules and perfusion-related diffusion in the tissue at the molecular level, and then reflect the pathological and functional status. The author reviewed the basic principle and current application progress of IVIM technology in SS.
