Abstract

Modern sonography techniques are increasingly used for the evaluation of gastrointestinal tract in pediatric age. High-resolution real-time scanners, graded compression technique, along with color-flow and power Doppler, represent non-invasive, accurate and reliable diagnostic methods. Sonography can easily be performed for the diagnostic evaluation of acute abdominal pain, gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases and congenital anomalies. Current applications of modern sonography techniques in the evaluation and treatment of pediatric gastrointestinal diseases are presented.
