Ultrasound is crucial to the care of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. It is often requested to help in the diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis, assess the bowel, and detect complications and sequelae of illness. Come learn about the approach to neonatal bowel imaging, assessment of bowel and extraintestinal and colonic imaging findings that should not be missed, and a neonatologist's perspective of ultrasound use for necrotizing enterocolitis.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe a standardized imaging protocol to assess neonatal bowel.
  • Recognize imaging manifestations of the bowel and abdomen that portend poor prognosis for the child.
  • Explain what a neonatologist wants to know from the ultrasound examination and how it impacts the care of the child.
