Selected topics in pediatric ultrasonography--1992.
In children, ultrasonography has been valuable in demonstrating a wide range of congenital lesions that were previously seen indirectly or only after more invasive procedures. It has replaced many studies that necessitated oral or vascular contrast and ionizing radiation. Real-time ultrasonography has found a role in the evaluation of the diaphragm, gastroesophageal reflux, bowel peristalsis, and hip stability.
