Abstract
Chest trauma in children may result in variable injuries. Although radiographs represent the mainstay modality for triage, ultrasound may prove to be a useful diagnostic tool, having the potential to supplement radiographic findings and tailor ionizing imaging. There is growing evidence demonstrating the high accuracy of ultrasound in assessing several conditions related to pediatric chest trauma. Familiarity with the scanning technique, together with an understanding of the sound properties of solid tissue, air, and fluid, is essential for image interpretation. Herein, we present tips regarding a detailed sonographic technique, landmarks relevant to normal anatomy, and abnormal findings encountered in children with accidental thoracic trauma.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine (JUM) is dedicated to the rapid, accurate publication of original articles dealing with all aspects of medical ultrasound, particularly its direct application to patient care but also relevant basic science, advances in instrumentation, and biological effects. The journal is an official publication of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and publishes articles in a variety of categories, including Original Research papers, Review Articles, Pictorial Essays, Technical Innovations, Case Series, Letters to the Editor, and more, from an international bevy of countries in a continual effort to showcase and promote advances in the ultrasound community.
Represented through these efforts are a wide variety of disciplines of ultrasound, including, but not limited to:
-Basic Science-
Breast Ultrasound-
Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound-
Dermatology-
Echocardiography-
Elastography-
Emergency Medicine-
Fetal Echocardiography-
Gastrointestinal Ultrasound-
