Patient's question:
The baby is 4 years old this year. During a previous check-up, it was found that the baby had intestinal gas, but it wasn't very serious. The doctor treating the baby said there was no major concern. Now the baby has grown a bit, and I want to take the baby for a color Doppler ultrasound check. Can a color Doppler ultrasound detect intestinal gas?Doctor's answer:
