[The importance of ultrasound in the pediatric practice in Switzerland].
For various reasons, sonography is best suited for the use in children. In pediatric practice and emergency departments, it turns out to be just as valuable for many indications, as in pediatric hospitals. As a clinical method of imaging, ultrasound is very profitable in the hands of pediatricians. Examples from daily practice illustrate this fact. Still, against this background, it is surprising, that in Switzerland - in contrast to neighbouring countries - pediatric sonography is largely given over to radiologists.
