[The value of ultrasonography in salivary pathology].
Ultrasound has been increasingly used in recent years and thanks to high performance, easy to use apparatus, it can now be used for exploration of the salivary glands. This non invasive, painless and relatively inexpensive examination provides rapid visualisation of the salivary glands and is a useful adjunct to radio-xero-sialographic examination, particularly in tumour pathology. Following a review of normal appearances, the author briefly describes the various salivary gland lesions.
