Abstract

The new imaging techniques (ultrasound, CT, digital subtraction angiography) have greatly modified the diagnostic approach to the endocrinopathies in pediatric age, notably if of surgical interest. The main clinical indications to the ultrasound and/or CT study of hypophysis, thyroid, adrenals and female internal genital tract are synthesized in this paper. A diagnostic flow-chart is also suggested for each clinical entity.
