Diagnosis of neonatal brain abnormalities typically involves a combination of clinical assessments and imaging techniques:
Ultrasound Imaging: Often used for initial screening, especially in premature infants. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Provides detailed images of the brain's structure and is used to confirm and further evaluate abnormalities. Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: Used less frequently due to radiation exposure but can be useful in acute settings. Electroencephalography (EEG): Measures electrical activity in the brain and can help diagnose seizures and other neurological conditions.
