What Are the Common Types of Digital Imaging Used in Neonates?
Ultrasound: Frequently used due to its safety and non-invasive nature. It is commonly employed for brain imaging in neonates to detect conditions like intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia. MRI: Provides detailed images of brain structures and is useful in diagnosing brain injuries, congenital anomalies, and other complex conditions. CT Scan: Although less commonly used due to radiation exposure, it is sometimes necessary for detailed imaging of lung or abdominal conditions.
