Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the application of intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination in children with intra-abdominal diseases that require clear diagnoses. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound helpful for the diagnosis of intra-abdominal diseases in children?

  • What medical problems do participants have when participating in intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination?

  • How can ultrasound doctors conduct intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound examinations in a standardized manner? Researchers will performing intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound examinations on participants and collecting research subjects to establish a multicenter clinical data database.

Participants will:

  • Perform abdominal ultrasound examination to assess the condition.

  • At least conduct one intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination. Based on the result of the contrast examination, decide whether to conduct another examination.

  • Keep a diary of their symptoms and therapeutic process in 30 days.
