Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Demographics data, clinical indications, ultrasound diagnosis, and ultrasound measurements will be recorded and stored on an database. Ultrasound measurements will be analyzed to define the normal range of values of Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) angle and Superior Mesenteric Artery - Aorta (SMA-A) distance in the pediatric population according to age, Body Mass Index (BMI), and fat parameters.
