What Are the Advantages of Using Ultrasound for Neonatal Disorders?
Ultrasound imaging offers several advantages:
1. Non-invasive: It does not require any incisions or injections, making it safe for neonates. 2. Real-time Imaging: Allows for immediate assessment and diagnosis. 3. No Ionizing Radiation: Unlike X-rays or CT scans, ultrasound does not expose infants to ionizing radiation. 4. Portability: Modern ultrasound machines are portable, enabling bedside assessments in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
