What are the benefits of a pediatric ultrasound (sonogram)?

Pediatric ultrasounds can be used to diagnose conditions in organs and blood vessels, and to clearly see many parts of the body, such as the abdomen, breasts, pelvis, scrotum, and thyroid.

A pediatric ultrasound is a great diagnostic tool for children because there is no exposure to radiation and there is usually no need for sedation or general anesthesia.
