Abstract : Salivary gland ultrasonography (SGUS) has an established role in detecting typical structural gland abnormalities in primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS). SGUS might be included in pSS classification and could be used as a prognostic and follow-up biomarker, but for this purpose additional efforts, new techniques and larger cohort studies are needed. HarmonicSS, an ongoing Horizon, EU-supported project in pSS, will apply artificial intelligence to SGUS in pSS. Many questions are still unresolved and challenging, but data collected up to now underscore the concept that SGUS will be an important tool for the study of pSS in the near future.
