The purpose of the study is to compare conventional linear and fingertip ultrasound transducers, for the evaluation of umbilical catheters, with radiography. Fingertip ultrasound transducers have the potential to simplify sonographic examination due to their small size and ability to fit on a finger. A prospective, IRB approved comparative study was performed. Linear and fingertip sonographic images were obtained around the same time as a radiograph in neonates with umbilical catheters by two board certified pediatric radiologists and a radiology resident.
