Abdominal Ultrasound in Pediatrics

Abdominal ultrasound in pediatrics is a safe and painless imaging test that uses sound waves to create pictures of a child’s internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys, and intestines. It helps doctors diagnose various conditions, like infections, abnormalities, or blockages, without using radiation. During the procedure, a gel is applied to the child’s abdomen, and a small device called a transducer is moved over the skin to capture images. The results assist healthcare providers in deciding the best treatment for the child’s health issues.
