  • Title: [Ultrasound diagnosis following blunt abdominal injury in childhood].
    Author: Schulz RD, Willi U.
    Journal: Ultraschall Med; 1983 Sep; 4(3):154-9. PubMed ID: 6648492.
    Abstract:
    In blunt abdominal trauma in childhood, sonography should be the primary method for diagnostic imaging. This simple and non-invasive investigation can be readily performed even in cases with severe traumatic organ lesions. In cases not requiring immediate surgery the method can be used for monitoring and follow-up. Other diagnostic procedures such as IVP, CT, abdominal plain x-ray, angiography, scintigraphy do not become superfluous but should be used according to the clinical and sonographic findings.
