Abstract
High-frequency real-time ultrasound scanning facilitates the rapid examination of the neonatal biliary system. Normal gallbladder and common bile duct measurements are presented and compared with measurements that were obtained in hyperalimented and jaundiced neonates and in infants who had septic disease or right upper quadrant masses. Ultrasound provides a useful way to distinguish obstructive jaundice from hepatocellular disease in the neonate.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
