Abstract

The AAO‐HNS Salivary Gland Committee in collaboration with international experts proposes a standardized approach to submandibular gland ultrasound analysis focused on technique and nomenclature. Consensus regarding the naming of subsites within the submandibular gland is needed to improve communication about abnormalities detected and to direct the use of more sophisticated assessment schemes such as shear wave analysis targeted to specific regions. Consistency in this terminology should lead to improved reproducibility of findings.
