Choice of contrast for pediatric upper gastrointestinal series (UGI) is variable. While radiologists prefer the density of barium, surgeons prefer water soluble contrast. Diluting water-soluble contrast makes it nearly iso-osmotic, reducing the risk of electrolyte disturbance, but does dilution impair diagnostic accuracy? Does the contrast agent affect duodenal distention? Does the amount of bowel gas affect perceived density? Read More

Use of ultrasound for detection of midgut malrotation and volvulus has evolved and become more accepted as the first line assessment for this emergent pathology given its portability, ubiquity, and cost savings. Despite best efforts and experienced sonographers, visualization of an intraperitoneal D3 segment is both the most specific for malrotation as well as the most inconsistently seen. Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been used in pediatric patients for many different applications. Initially for detecting vesicoureteral reflux and subsequently expanded its utility into numerous intravascular and intracavitary applications. We aim to test the feasibility of using enteric US contrast to visualize the D3 segment. Read More
