How Can Radiation-Free Techniques Improve Diagnosis?
Utilizing radiation-free techniques can significantly improve the safety of diagnostic procedures in neonates. For example, ultrasound can be used to monitor the development of the heart and detect any abnormalities without exposing the infant to harmful radiation. Similarly, MRI can provide detailed images of the brain, helping in the diagnosis of conditions like hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy without the risks associated with radiation exposure.
