Figure 1 Contrast-enhanced ultrasound scanning. A: Section of cardia and lower esophagus; B: Section of gastric fundus; C: Section of the gastric body; D: Gastric angle section; E: Antrum section; F: Gastric coronal oblique section; G: Duodenal section.

Figure 2 A 14-year-old male with duodenal ulcer diagnosed by gastroscopy. A: Gastroscope indicated a large ulcer on the anterior wall of the bulb, covered with thick white moss, congestion and edema of the surrounding mucosa; B: Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography showed that the shape of duodenal bulb was irregular, the area was small, and there were hyperechoic plaques, 13 mm × 11 mm × 13 mm in size, on the anterior wall of the duodenum.

Figure 3 A 14-year-old female with duodenal ulcer diagnosed by gastroscopy. A: Gastroscopy indicated that there was a large ulcer in the duodenal bulb, covered with thick yellow and white moss, congestion and edema of the surrounding mucosa; B: Gastrointestinal contrast-enhanced ultrasonography showed that the shape of the duodenal bulb was irregular and the area was small; the anterior wall of the duodenum showed a hyperechoic plaque of 18 mm 6 mm; the local wall showed hypoechoic thickening, and the mucosal fold of the bulbar wall slightly thickened.
