MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Trata-se de estudo prospectivo, incluindo crianças com até 12 anos de idade. Os pacientes foram examinados sequencialmente por dois utrassonografistas e as imagens foram classificadas em escores: 1 (não visualizado ou parcialmente visualizado, inadequada para diagnóstico); 2 (suficientes para diagnóstico); 3 (excelentes).

The combination of fasting and simethicone proved suitable to obtain mostly “acceptable” and “excellent” scores for images of the jejunum.…”
