Paediatric Abdominal ultrasound is an imaging process that uses sound waves to detect the causes of abdominal and scrotal pain in children.
Procedure
- A transducer is used to send the sound waves by pressing against the skin.
- As the sound waves travel through the skin, images recording the tiny changes can be generated by the radiologist.
Benefits
- This ultrasound procedure is conducted to evaluate the appearance of the appendix, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and other parts of the body.
- It helps determine the cause of the abdominal pain in children.
- It is also helpful in detecting the location of the abdominal fluid present in the abdomen and examining the cause of the vomiting in infants.
