This article focuses on ultrasonographic examinations of the abdomen and important intra-abdominal pathology. The liver and biliary tree are discussed first, followed by the use of ultrasonography in diagnosing appendicitis, ascites, and bowel obstruction. Pyloric stenosis and intussusception, important pediatric intra-abdominal problems, are also discussed.
