Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) diagnosis is improved by integrating imaging. Combining radiography and sonography, including Doppler, enhances early detection and treatment guidance for NEC.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatal Care

Background:

  • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe gastrointestinal emergency in neonates.
  • Accurate diagnosis and staging are critical for timely intervention and improved outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the diagnostic value of roentgenographic and sonographic signs in NEC.
  • To discuss the clinical application of Doppler sonography in NEC diagnosis.
  • To propose a diagnostic algorithm for NEC management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of roentgenographic and sonographic findings in NEC.
  • Evaluation of Duplex-Doppler and color-coded Doppler sonography.
  • Development of a staged diagnostic algorithm.

Main Results:

  • Specific radiographic and sonographic signs, including Doppler findings, are described.
  • Indications for surgical treatment based on imaging are proposed.
  • An algorithm integrating imaging modalities for NEC staging is outlined.

Conclusions:

  • Routine sonography application within a diagnostic algorithm can enhance diagnostic accuracy for NEC.
  • Imaging plays a crucial role in early diagnosis and monitoring NEC progression.
  • A structured approach to imaging improves management decisions in NEC.
