[Table/Fig-5]:
Diagnostic points of intussusception on ultrasound with colour Doppler study
| Oval pseudokidney mass lesion with central echoes on longitudinal imaging |
| Sonolucent donought or target lesion configuration in cross sectional imaging |
| Various layers and concentric rings may represent mesentry and bowel wall that has been drawn into the intussusception |
| Sonolucent periphery is due to oedematous wall of intussuscepted intestinal head |
| fluid,enlarged lymph nodes, dilated adjacent loop |
| On colour Doppler study blood flow within the mass suggests bowel wall viability while scattered or no blood flow suggests impared vsacularity |
| Presence of other soft tissue / cystic mass suggests a pathological lead point |
