  • Title: Ultrasound of the neonatal brain.
    Author: Ng VW, MacSweeney JE.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; ; 57(1-2):19-22. PubMed ID: 9022818.
    Abstract:
    Cranial ultrasound is currently the primary imaging modality employed in the assessment of the neonatal brain. Due to recent technological advances it is now possible to examine the developing cerebral surface, to assess sulcal-gyral maturation, and to investigate subtle changes in cerebral blood flow and parenchymal perfusion. This review discusses the currently accepted and the more controversial indications for neonatal transcranial ultrasound.
