Pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physicians are increasingly utilizing point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). There is currently limited data regarding POCUS evaluation for intussusception in pediatric patients. To better understand the role of POCUS for identification of intussusception, the investigators plan to conduct a randomized, noninferiority study comparing POCUS and radiology-performed ultrasound (RADUS), utilizing experienced sonographers across multiple institutions.
