title: [The imaging of organ transplants in children].
abstract: Imaging plays a major role in organ transplantation. It allows to show or to rule out numerous complications whose clinical and biologic picture is often little specific. Due to the fragility of these immunodepressed children, ultrasonography performed at the patient's bed side, is a irreplaceable supervision tool. Its association to pulsed Doppler was recently an important contribution to the diagnosis of hepatic and renal vascular lesions. The techniques of investigation which require the patient transport and anesthesia are performed only by second intention. The place of interventional radiology, especially in the treatment of hepatic and renal complications, should be emphasized.
