The quality of modern ultrasonography allows to study not only solid abdominal organs but also digestive walls and abdominal lymphnodes, leading to accurate diagnosis in many cases, and decreasing the use of more aggressive radiological procedures (upper GI baryum studies, baryum enema, intravenous pyelography, etc.). In dealing with abdominal pain in children, the plain XRay film of the abdomen and abdominal echography are performed immediately after history taking and physical examination, and are equally important in the work up of these cases.
现代超声检查的质量不仅能够用于研究腹部实体器官，还能用于研究消化道壁和腹部淋巴结，在许多情况下可实现准确诊断，同时减少了更具侵入性的放射学检查程序（上消化道钡餐检查、钡剂灌肠、静脉肾盂造影等）的使用。在处理儿童腹痛时，在采集病史和体格检查后应立即进行腹部X线平片和腹部超声检查，这在这些病例的检查过程中同样重要。
