This study determined the reference SWE, SMI, PD, and CD values for normal parotid glands in healthy children and adolescents. Elasticity values were affected by age and BMI. There was no correlation between vascularity values and age, sex, or BMI. SMI provided more detailed information about vascularity compared with the other methods.
