Insights

Pediatric radiologists can now use musculoskeletal ultrasound for new examinations. This review guides them through common procedures familiar to adult specialists.

Area of Science:

  • Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
  • Pediatric Radiology

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) applications are expanding.
  • Many MSKUS examinations are new to pediatric radiologists.
  • These procedures are common for adult radiologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an introduction and guide to MSKUS for pediatric radiologists.
  • To familiarize pediatric radiologists with common MSKUS entities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established musculoskeletal ultrasound techniques.
  • Focus on entities relevant to pediatric imaging.

Main Results:

  • Detailed overview of specific musculoskeletal ultrasound examinations.
  • Guidance on adapting adult MSKUS protocols for pediatric patients.

Conclusions:

  • Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a valuable tool for pediatric imaging.
  • This guide facilitates the integration of MSKUS into pediatric radiology practices.

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
