“…The worm's alimentary canal can be seen as a single central echogenic line (Figure 8). 13 During prolonged scanning, worms might show curling movements. 13 These sonographic appearances have been described as the railway track sign on longitudinal scans and the bull's eye sign on transverse scans.…”

Like other cross-sectional imaging methods, transabdominal sonography is increasingly used for evaluation of gastrointestinal diseases. The potentials and limitations of sonography in evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract are discussed. Transabdominal sonography proved to be of clinical value in assessment of appendicitis, diverticulitis, bowel obstruction, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, intussusception and infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. The sonographic morphology of the most common gastrointestinal diseases is discussed. In experienced hands sonography can be used as primary imaging in several gastrointestinal diseases. The gastrointestinal tract should be included in the sonographic examination of the abdomen, especially if symptoms could be related to the intestine.
