What are the limitations of ultrasound in pediatric imaging?
While ultrasound is highly useful, it does have some limitations:
- Operator Dependency: The quality of the images can vary significantly depending on the skill of the operator. - Limited Penetration: Ultrasound waves may not penetrate deeply enough to visualize certain structures, especially in obese patients. - Image Quality: The resolution may be lower than other imaging modalities like MRI.
