title: The vomiting infant: recent advances and unsettled issues in imaging.
abstract: The evaluation of infantile vomiting is bound up with many unresolved questions and continually evolving imaging technologies. This article addresses three specific areas of interest: the use of newer low-osmolality, water-soluble contrast media in the infant's gastrointestinal tract; the ever-controversial subject of gastroesophageal reflux; and the burgeoning role of gastrointestinal ultrasonography.
