[The potential of ultrasonographic detection of vascular pathology of the bowel in children with portal hypertension syndrome].

Complex ultrasonography gives the objective information about the structure of liver and spleen, as well as about the blood flow in the bowel vessels. Color flow mapping makes it possible to determine the grade of the blood filling of the bowel wall in children with portal hypertension syndrome (PHS). We have provided the qualitative indices of intestinal blood flow in healthy children and in children with PHS.
