Cover Story: Ultra-high frequency ultrasound is suggested to open new possibilities for the diagnostics of pediatric anorectal conditions. The procedure and considerations behind the development of a new transrectal pediatric probe with 50 MHz center frequency were presented. Probe requirements according to patient anatomy, and clinicians’ and biomedical engineering’ prerequisites were collected within an expert group. Suitable probes on the market and in clinical use were reviewed. The requirements were transferred into the sketching of potential ultra-high frequency rectal ultrasound probes, followed by 3D prototype printing. Two prototypes were created and tested by five pediatric surgeons. A straight probe with an 8 mm head and shaft was preferred as it facilitated stability, ease of anal insertion, and ultra-high frequency-technique with elements in a linear array. View this paper
