What Conditions Can Postnatal Imaging Detect?

- Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH): Ultrasound and MRI can detect bleeding within the brain ventricles, a common issue in premature infants.
- Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL): MRI is the gold standard for identifying this white matter brain injury.
- Congenital Heart Defects: Echocardiography (a type of ultrasound) is crucial for diagnosing structural heart abnormalities.
- Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC): Abdominal X-rays and ultrasound help in diagnosing this serious gastrointestinal condition.
