Abstract
Pulmonary manifestations, including airway involvement and interstitial lung disease, are the most frequent extra-glandular complications of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is a cornerstone of pulmonary diagnostic imaging, aiming to detect, characterise, and quantify such conditions. In patients with pSS-related lung abnormalities, HRCT proved helpful in various clinical scenarios, including baseline and follow-up evaluation, assessment of superimposed infections, suspected progressive interstitial lung diseases, and acute exacerbation. This review aims to provide a primer for rheumatologists on chest HRCT, illustrating the up-to-date technique, imaging findings, and clinical indications in pSS and highlighting the importance of rheumatologist-radiologist constructive collaboration in the clinical management of such patients.
