Abstract

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound, microvascular imaging, elastography, and fat quantification have varying degrees of utility, with some applications in the pediatric setting mirroring that in adults and having unique uses when applied to children in others. This review will present novel ultrasound technologies and the clinical context in which they are applied to the pediatric abdomen. New ultrasound technologies have a broad range of applications in clinical practice and represent a powerful diagnostic tool with the potential to replace other imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, in specific cases.
