title: CT of the pediatric gastrointestinal tract.
abstract: Despite the fact that children are not small adults, some children will invariably be evaluated with adult imaging protocols. As CT gains popularity in the evaluation of the adult gastrointestinal (GI) tract, there will undoubtedly be some spillover into the pediatric age group. This pictorial essay reviews the CT appearance of some common pediatric GI disorders as common diseases may present uncommonly, both clinically and radiographically.
