Abstract

Pediatric surgical ultrasound of the head and neck allows the clinician real-time access to data that can aid in the care of the patient. It improves the timeliness of care and is an integral part of office- and hospital-based practice. Expertise in medical knowledge as well as the performance and interpretation of imaging is critical for the clinician to have optimal patient outcomes. Ultrasound represents one modality of imaging and is part of a continuum. Ultrasound has limitations and other modalities may be essential. The best care for these patients require all physicians involved in imaging of our patients to collaborate more than ever before.
