Biography: Professor Dr. Mohammad Delwar Hossain is a specialist in Radiology & Imaging with special interest on Interventional Radiology. He completed MBBS in 1984, DMRD from IPGMR (Now BSMMU) and FCPS (Radiology & Imaging) from BCPS. He has ten publications & more than hundreds of presentations in different national and international conferences of various countries; ICR in New Delhi, India (1998); IAEA conference in Hanoi, Vietnam (2015); SIGT conference in New Delhi, India (2015); APCIO conference in New Delhi, India (2017); CSIR conference in Zhengzhou, China (2017). He organized an international conference in collaboration with IAEA in Dhaka (2016)

Research Interest: Ultrasound is non-invasive mode of imaging. It does not require any preparation for child & can be done in bed side. Other methods of imaging like CT & MRI is difficult to perform where it requires sedation. Most important advantage of ultrasound is that it is real time, and the movement or crying of child does not significantly affect the ultrasound scanning. As it is real time, it can easily differentiate parietal from intra-abdominal masses, presence or absence of peristalsis can be can be detected by ultrasound in case of bowel lesion like intussusception, infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Cystic & solid lesion can be easily differentiated by ultrasound without contrast. Ultrasound acts not only as diagnostic purpose but it acts as an important guide for interventional procedures. Following are the common causes of pediatric abdominal masses which can be easily diagnosed by ultrasound. Renal mass :( Wilms’ tumor, Cystic disease of kidneys, congenital hydronephrosis) Suprarenal mass: Neuroblastoma. Hepatic mass: Hepatoblastoma. Nodal mass: Lymphoma. Pelvic mass Sarcoma botroides. Bowel mass: Intussusception.
