title: Ultrasound of the duodenum in children.
abstract: Ultrasound is well suited for examining the pediatric duodenum, given the small size of the patients, the lack of ionizing radiation and high-resolution imaging potential. Technical considerations, normal anatomy, congenital and acquired pathology of the duodenum, and the advantages and limitations of US are discussed and illustrated in this review.
