{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The Salivary Gland Committee of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery seeks to standardize terminology and technique for ultrasonograpy used in the evaluation and treatment of salivary gland disorders.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Development of expert opinion obtained through interaction with international practitioners representing multiple specialties. This committee work includes a comprehensive literature review with presentation of case examples to propose a standardized protocol for the language used in ultrasound salivary gland assessment.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>A multiple segment proposal is initiated with this focus on the submandibular gland. We provide a concise rationale for recommended descriptive language highlighted by a more extensive supplement that includes an extensive literature review with additional case examples.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Recommendations are provided to improve consistency both in performing and reporting submandibular gland ultrasound.
