%X introduction: the use of ultrasound in pediatric primary care improves both the quality and efficiency of care. material and methods: this study undertook 250 ultrasounds over a 12 month period from may 2009 to april 2010. results: the results found for each anatomical region were 45% abdominal, 25% cranial, 15% of the hip, 10% of parotid and thyroids and 5% of tender areas. from these, the most relevant pathology was gastroesophageal reflux, accounting for 7.2% of all ultrasounds undertaken. renal pyelectasia accounted for 1.6%, cephalhematoma 1.6%, dysplasia of the hip 1.2%, acute parotitis 1.2%, adenopathy 1.2%, cervical angioma 0.4%, and abscessed adenopathy 0.4%. conclusions: from this analysis, we conclude that ultrasound is a useful tool for the detection of abdominal and cranial pathologies and secondarily, for thyroid, hip and cervical pathologies.
