What are the Alternatives to Radiation-Based Imaging?
There are several non-radiation-based imaging techniques that can be effectively used in neonatal care:
Ultrasound: This technique uses sound waves to create images of internal structures. It is widely used for diagnosing conditions like congenital heart defects and brain injuries in neonates. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body's organs and tissues. It is particularly useful for evaluating the brain and spinal cord in neonates.
