Neurosonography with Doppler
What you need to know about Doppler neurosonography
Brain ultrasound (neurosonography) is a study that is performed in the presence of an open fontanel in an infant. It makes it possible to obtain and evaluate data on the functioning of the brain, as well as other structures located in the cranium. Neurosonography also allows you to identify the development of abnormalities in the structure of the brain in children, even newborns. During the study, the doctor can assess the size of all areas of the brain, the presence of congenital defects.
Ultrasound of the brain is performed on children only up to a year, until the fontanel has grown. Sometimes it can be done a little later through some areas of the skull bones, where they are thinner and transmit ultrasound waves, but in this case the structures of the brain are visible much worse. Neurosonography can be performed on children with the aim of monitoring the state of the brain, the effectiveness of therapy (if necessary) with an interval of 1-1.5 months.
It is recommended to perform at least one brain ultrasound on children under one year of age to rule out congenital anomalies.
