Abstract
Orbital sonography with color-flow Doppler imaging is a relatively new technology with significant application in the pediatric patient. This review stresses the primary indications for pediatric ophthalmic ultrasound and also discusses those instances where the use of ultrasound supplements other imaging studies.
