Ultrasound assessment of the bowel: inflammatory bowel disease and conditions beyond

Michael L Francavilla et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2017 Aug.

Abstract

Ultrasound (US) is a versatile imaging study for the evaluation of the bowel in children. US imaging of the bowel can be used as the initial examination or in follow-up for many common pediatric diseases. In this article, we highlight our bowel US technique and describe how US can depict the features of a select group of bowel pathologies relevant to pediatric practice.
