Ultrasonography (US) is widely used to evaluate most body parts in pediatric
patients because it is simple, noninvasive, easy to use, and applicable in a wide
variety of clinical situations. US is the modality of choice for the initial
evaluation of acute abdominal pain in pediatric patients because of their small
body habitus and the presence of less fat tissue in the abdominal wall and
peritoneal cavity. The most important factor in performing pediatric emergency US
is the graded compression technique and selection of the proper transducer. The
careful evaluation of bowel wall thickening combined with ancillary findings such
as fluid collection, increased echogenicity of the mesenteric fat tissue,
enlarged lymph nodes, hyperemic bowel changes, and abnormal bowel peristalsis can
increase the diagnostic capability of US.
