Summary

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune exocrinopathy characterized by lymphocytic infiltration, progressive destruction of salivary gland acini, and varying degrees of functional impairment and fibrosis. Conventional imaging provides limited ability to simultaneously evaluate glandular function and inflammatory activity, leading to challenges in disease staging and treatment decision-making. This study explores a conceptual dual-tracer imaging framework using PSMA PET and FAPI PET to delineate complementary biological processes in pSS.
