Purpose: We aimed to define for the first time in the pediatric population the role of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) for the assessment of physiological changes in blood perfusion occurring in the salivary glands during the secretion of saliva. Methods and Materials: The study group consisted of 23 healthy children with a mean age of 9,87±1,74 (range, 7–12). All subjects were examined by color Doppler ultrasonography before and during secretory stimulation with lemon by which spectral waveform analysis was performed on the facial and external carotid arteries to assess the blood inflow to the parotid and…
