Ultrasonography is a widely employed imaging technique in pediatric radiology, in which diagnostic information are instantly gathered and available. The lack of radiation, the fact that sedation is not needed and that it is painless, the bedside imaging capability, the smaller size of children and their lesser amount of subcutaneous fat, and the interaction with the patient and the parents make it the pediatric imaging modality of first choice in many cases and a vitally important diagnostic tool in children.
