- Respiratory Distress Syndrome: X-rays are used to assess lung conditions such as hyaline membrane disease, transient tachypnea, and meconium aspiration syndrome. - Congenital Heart Disease: Initial assessment often includes a chest X-ray, followed by echocardiography for detailed evaluation. - Neonatal Sepsis: Ultrasound and X-rays can help identify sources of infection and complications like pneumonia or abscesses. - Intracranial Hemorrhage: Ultrasound is the preferred initial modality due to its safety, but MRI provides more detailed information. - Necrotizing Enterocolitis: Abdominal X-rays are critical for diagnosis and monitoring of this life-threatening condition.
