title: [Which imaging in front of abdominal pain in children?].
abstract: Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of abdominal pain. Plain abdomen radiography is of very limited value, but is still too often requested. Ultrasound is the first-line procedure. However, it does not always provide answers to all the questions. It is thus essential to know its limitations and flaws. Ultrasound should complement the physical examination.
