[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
