For many years, from the discovery of X-ray up today, medical morfological diagnosis has been based on the analysis of radiographic image. Having regard to the potential risks of ionizing radiations, radiological exploration can not be taken into account as they are harmful, and in some cases they can become dangerous. Authors point out that an abusive using of radiological exploration exists in our country. As for children, a negligent use of radiology can reach very concerned limits. Ultrasound systems which are currently available, used before radiology in a systematical manner, can resolve a morfological diagnostic in many cases, in a sure and faster way, with the great advantage to be a risk-less procedure because ultrasounds are mechanical not ionizing waves. Six cases are shown as an example of the diagnostic possibilities of ultrasound in pediatrics.
多年来，从X射线的发现到如今，医学形态学诊断一直基于对放射影像的分析。鉴于电离辐射的潜在风险，放射学检查因其有害而不能被考虑，在某些情况下甚至可能变得危险。作者指出，在我国存在滥用放射学检查的现象。对于儿童而言，疏忽使用放射学检查可能达到令人担忧的程度。目前可用的超声系统，若在放射学检查之前有系统地使用，在许多情况下能够以可靠且更快的方式解决形态学诊断问题，其最大优势在于这是一种无风险的检查方法，因为超声是机械波而非电离波。本文展示了六个病例，作为超声在儿科诊断可能性的示例。
