Ultrasound is the ideal tool to examine children of all ages. It is fast, painless, uses no ionizing radiation, and does not require a baby to remain still for long periods. Real-time modes show movement of internal tissues and organs. Advanced ultrasound imaging techniques such as color Doppler, 4D ultrasound, harmonic imaging, and higher resolution, as well as the application of ultrasound contrast agents broaden the potential of ultrasound.
Pediatric [paediatric, Brit.] ultrasound can be used in all body regions and reduce the number of more invasive or radiating examinations that often additionally need sedation or intravenous iodinated contrast agents.

(AUS) Abdominal ultrasound, (TAE) transabdominal echography, abdomen sonography, sonogram, (FAST) focused assessment
Ultrasonography is an ideal clinical tool for determining the source of abdominal pain. An abdominal ultrasound includes the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and blood vessels of the abdomen. Conventional ultrasound is cheap, safe, non-invasive and is a practical first line investigation. High resolution ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound and contrast enhanced Doppler techniques assist in detecting small lesions. The best preparation is nothing to eat or drink from midnight the night before the exam (minimum 8 hours).

FAST is a rapid diagnostic test of the trauma patient that sequentially detects the presence of free fluid in pericardium (hemopericardium) and in 4 views of the abdomen. These views, the right upper quadrant (RUQ), left upper quadrant (LUQ), the subcostal, and suprapubic views detect a hemoperitoneum in patients with potential truncal injuries. The Morison pouch between the liver and right kidney (RUQ) is a space in which intraperitoneal fluid can accumulate. Emergency abdominal ultrasonography is indicated for the evaluation of aortic aneurysm, appendicitis, and biliary and renal colic, as well as blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma.

Medical Sonography (also called ultrasonography) uses equipment that generates high frequency sound waves to produce images from muscles, soft tissues, fluid collections, and vascular structures of the human body. Obstetric sonography is commonly used during pregnancy. Sonography visualizes anatomy, function, and pathology of for example gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, liver, uterus, ovaries, urinary bladder, eye, thyroid, breast, aorta, veins and arteries in the extremities, carotid arteries in the neck, as well as the heart.
A typical medical ultrasound machine, usually a real-time scanner, operates in the frequency range of 2 to 13 megahertz.
