Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to perform MR cine sialography (MRCS) using the Time-Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse (Time-SLIP) technique to simultaneously visualize the bilateral salivary glands and depict salivary flow from both the submandibular and parotid glands, and to evaluate salivary gland function and its clinical utility.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Salivary flow visualized by MR cine sialography (MRCS) will be scored, and the following evaluations will be performed:
1. Correlation analysis between MRCS scores and salivary volume measured by the spitting method and gum-chewing test in healthy volunteers.
2. Comparison of MRCS scores between normal subjects and patients with Sjogren's syndrome (SS).
3. Association analysis between MRCS scores and diagnostic parameters included in the Japanese clinical guidelines, including labial salivary gland biopsy findings, oral examination results, ophthalmologic test results, serologic markers, and unstimulated salivary volume.
4. Comparative evaluation of MRCS with conventional MR sialography and structural MRI.

Interventions/Control_1

MRI will be used to noninvasively visualize salivary flow without contrast agents. The examination will be performed once, with a total scan time of approximately 30 minutes. During the examination, citric acid will be administered into the oral cavity using an injector.
