AB Ultrasonography  is  the  imaging  technique  of  choice  for  confirmation  of  pyloric  stenosis,  testicular  torsion,  ectopic  pregnancy,  ovarian  torsion,  intussusception,  and  appendicitis.Computed  tomography  (CT)  is  an  extremely  valuable  imaging  tool,  but  the  risk  of  ionizing  radiation  exposure  should  be  considered  when  ordering  this  test  in  young  children.Magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI)  in  the  emergency  department  (ED)  is  usually  reserved  for  emergent  conditions  such  as  cord  compression  and  stroke.
