Pediatric ultrasound
Pediatric ultrasound is a safe, painless and non-invasive examination for infants, children and adolescents. It allows for a quick and gentle assessment of internal organs and soft tissues without any radiation exposure.
At the Vasmedic clinic, pediatric ultrasound examinations are performed by experienced doctors with a sensitive approach to young patients and their parents.
Why choose ultrasound for children
Ultrasound is the ideal imaging method for children because:
- it is completely safe (no ionizing radiation),
- it is quick and painless,
- it does not require anesthesia or hospitalization,
- it provides immediate results,
- it is also suitable for repeated follow-up examinations.
What can be examined with pediatric ultrasound
Depending on the child's symptoms and age, we mainly perform:
- abdominal ultrasound (liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder),
- ultrasound of the neck and thyroid gland,
- ultrasound of soft tissues (lumps, nodules, swelling),
- ultrasound of the groin and scrotum (in boys),
- ultrasound of the hips in infants (DDH screening – as indicated),
- follow-up ultrasounds of known findings.
The scope of the examination is always adapted to the age of the child and specific problems.
When is a pediatric ultrasound recommended?
The examination is appropriate if:
- the child has abdominal pain or recurring problems,
- a lump, swelling, or enlarged lymph nodes appear,
- there are suspicious findings in the urine or a urinary tract infection,
- a congenital or known defect needs to be checked,
- the pediatrician recommends further examination of unclear problems,
- the parents want a gentle preventive examination.
How the examination is performed
- The examination usually takes 5-15 minutes.
- The child lies on a bed (smaller children may be held in their parent's arms).
- The doctor places an ultrasound probe with gel on the area being examined.
- The examination is painless and does not harm the child in any way.
- The results are communicated immediately after the examination.
No special preparation is usually necessary (the doctor will explain any exceptions in advance).
Child-friendly approach
At the Vasmedic clinic, we emphasize:
- a calm atmosphere
- patient explanation of the examination process,
- cooperation with parents,
- minimizing the child's stress and fears.
The goal is to make the examination as pleasant an experience as possible.
