Salivary gland ultrasound report template
A structured salivary gland ultrasound report template used for parotid / salivary glands. It covers 5 sections and 45 fields, and includes a one-click normal preset.
Technique
High-frequency linear transducer ultrasound of the parotid and submandibular glands in two planes with colour Doppler.
Sample normal salivary gland ultrasound report
This is the text SonoTez generates when the doctor applies the template's normal preset. Measurements are left for the doctor to enter.
Technique
High-frequency linear transducer ultrasound of the parotid and submandibular glands in two planes with colour Doppler.
Findings
Right parotid
The right parotid gland has homogeneous echotexture with no ductal dilatation, calculus or focal lesion.
Left parotid
The left parotid gland has homogeneous echotexture with no ductal dilatation, calculus or focal lesion.
Right submandibular
The right submandibular gland has homogeneous echotexture with no ductal dilatation, calculus or focal lesion.
Left submandibular
The left submandibular gland has homogeneous echotexture with no ductal dilatation, calculus or focal lesion.
Impression
Normal parotid and submandibular glands.

Writing the impression
Answer the clinical question first, list the remaining findings in order of importance, and keep anything new out of the impression. If a structure was not fully seen, say so and give the reason. See how to write an ultrasound report for wording and certainty terms.
