title: [The indications and limits for echographic studies in pediatrics].
abstract: Echography is an non-invasive investigation with many advantages, but also with its limits. It allows diagnosis in numerous diseases and in other illness may suggest the choice of the next investigations, thus shortening considerably the diagnosis steps. The information provided by the echographic examination must be correlated with the clinical findings and other data furnished by the laboratory tests or other imagistic investigations, to obtain an integrated holistic evaluation, able to give a complete and correct final diagnosis.
