A newborn’s brain undergoes rapid and critical development during the early stages of life. Brain ultrasound enables doctors to evaluate brain health and detect abnormalities early, providing vital insights for treatment and care planning.
What is Neonatal Brain Ultrasound
Neonatal brain ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of a newborn’s brain. This non-invasive and safe procedure is particularly recommended for premature infants or those showing signs of neurological concerns.
Benefits of Brain Ultrasound
- Early Detection of Abnormalities
Identifies issues such as brain hemorrhages, infections, or developmental abnormalities at an early stage. - Monitors Brain Development
Helps track the progress of brain growth in newborns, particularly those at high risk. - Safe and Painless
This radiation-free method is completely safe for infants and causes no discomfort. - Supports Tailored Treatment Plans
Provides essential information for personalized care and long-term health planning.
Who Should Consider This Test
- Premature infants
- Newborns with low birth weight
- Babies showing signs of neurological concerns, such as an enlarged head size or developmental delays
- Infants with a family history of neurological disorders
