What are the Limitations of AP Imaging in Neonates?
While AP imaging is invaluable, it does have limitations. The primary concern is the exposure to ionizing radiation, which can be harmful, especially for neonates. Efforts are made to minimize this exposure, but it is a factor that must be considered. Additionally, AP views may sometimes be insufficient for a comprehensive diagnosis, necessitating the use of other imaging modalities like ultrasound or MRI.
