radiologic imaging

What are the Indications for Imaging?

- 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.
