A neurosonogram, also known as a cranial ultrasound or transcranial Doppler ultrasound, is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the brain's structures, particularly in newborns and infants. It's commonly used to assess brain development, detect abnormalities, and evaluate conditions such as hydrocephalus, intracranial hemorrhage, and congenital brain anomalies. Neurosonography is non-invasive, painless, and does not involve radiation exposure, making it suitable for use in pediatric patients. It provides valuable information for healthcare professionals to diagnose and manage neurological conditions in infants.
