В статье обсуждается значение ультразвукового исследования (УЗИ) слюнных желез для диагностики болезни Шегрена, а также для оценки ее активности. Дана характеристика основных ультразвуковых признаков поражения слюнных желез и патогенетических механизмов возникновения этих изменений. Представлены результаты исследований динамики ультразвуковых показателей как у больных, не получающих лечения, так и на фоне различных методов терапии. Также в работе приведены основные данные по роли УЗИ в дифференциальной диагностике заболеваний, протекающих с поражением слюнных желез.

The article discusses the importance of ultrasound examination of the salivary glands in Sjogren’s disease for the diagnosis, as well as for assessing the activity of the disease. The characteristics of the main ultrasound changes in the salivary glands and the pathogenetic reasons of these changes are given. The results of studies of the dynamics of changes in ultrasound parameters both in patients not receiving treatment and in the presence of various methods of therapy are presented. The paper also provides basic data on the role of ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of diseases involving the salivary glands.
