“…According to the study of Ruess et al [15], GS and color Doppler significant changes were noted in disease activity in patients with IBD who underwent treatment. Seventeen patients were studied, thirteen with CD and four with UC.…”

“…The wall was considered thickened when it was greater than 3 mm, and hyperemic, according to the degree of Doppler: grade 1 (no blood), grade 2 (minimal vascularization or 1 to 5 pixels/ square inch), grade 3 (vascularization moderate or greater than 5 pixels/square cm), grade 4 (large increase in vascularization, including vessels or discrete areas of vascular confluence). Ultrasound examinations were performed with the control in color Doppler, assessing such segments, which was gradual reduction of both the thickness of the bowel as the degree of vascularization Doppler, together with clinical improvement of patients [15].…”

“…Colour Doppler sonography can detect increases in bowel wall perfusion and show changes in disease activity in paediatric patients with bowel inflammation [15]. So called 'vessel density' on Doppler US has been shown to be an indicator with respect to disease activity and has been used to evaluate risk of relapse, but cannot provide information on the severity of disease [34,41].…”

Purpose: To disseminate the current knowledge about the intestinal inflammatory processes in children and its approach by ultrasound (US) and provide necessary information to pediatricians for early diagnosis through this complementary method. Source of Data: The sources of data were selected by Medline, the international manuscripts, international medical journals more relevant in the last 20 years about Gray Scale and Color Doppler Ultrasound in the evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease in children and adolescents. Conclusions: Several authors have suggested that the ultrasound should be the first study in the diagnostic investigation process in suspected inflammatory bowel disease to determine the most affected region and monitor the therapy response. While colonoscopy still remains as the reference diagnostic method, the literature suggests that US can be an extremely useful tool in the context of the suspected diagnosis of a wide variety of intestinal inflammatory processes in children.

Ultrasound in the emergency department has long been recognized as a powerful screening and diagnostic tool for both physicians and radiologists. In the emergency department, since time is of the essence, it becomes a critical tool in triaging patients. Over the years, ultrasound has gained several advantages over other modalities because of its nonionizing radiation, portability, accessibility, non-invasive method and simpler learning curve. As a result, ultrasound has become one of the most frequently used diagnostic tools in the emergency department by non-radiologists. The value of ultrasound is implemented in every acute ailment in the emergency department such as trauma, acute abdomen, acute pelvic pain, acute scrotal pain, appendicitis in children and acute deep venous thrombosis. Our objective is to discuss the benefit of using ultrasound as the primary modality for each of these diseases. INTRODUCTIONSince the inception of portable ultrasound machine, physicians have attempted to integrate the use of ultrasound with the physical examination. Furthermore, the technological development of various probes and transducers has paved the way for a more accurate and specific physical examination. As a result, the use of ultrasound has been integrated into the education and training of multiple specialities, such as emergency medicine, obstetrics/ gynaecology and cardiology.

“…Wall thickness ranges between 5 and 14 mm (normal is < 3 mm) [Figure 8]. [26272829] On short axis views, it has a target or bull's-eye appearance, representing the central echogenic mucosa and surrounding hypoechoic wall. Peristalsis is usually present, but it is often diminished.…”

The diagnosis of acute right lower quadrant pain in a pediatric population is challenging. Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of an acute surgical abdomen. The common mimics of acute appendicitis are acute gastrointestinal and gynecologic diseases. This article reviews the sonographic findings of the spectrum of common acute abdominal emergencies in children with a focus on imaging clues to a specific diagnosis. This awareness can impact on diagnostic accuracy and impact patient management.
