Ultrasonography (US) is a useful screening method for the diagnosis of
developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and congenital spinal anomalies in
infants. In addition, US is a useful, noninvasive imaging modality for the
diagnosis of transient synovitis in children. The early detection of DDH leads to
a better prognosis without surgical intervention. Moreover, spinal US allows the
detection of congenital malformations and can also demonstrate normal anatomy and
normal variants that may resemble disorders. Therefore, radiologists should be
familiar with the sonographic anatomy of the normal infant hip, scanning and
measurement techniques for DDH, the US features of transient synovitis in
children, spinal US techniques, and the US features of normal anatomical
structures, normal variants, and congenital spinal anomalies.
