Neonatal Head Studies
Neonatal head studies are performed to obtain an image of brain structures that
can be used to detect abnormalities, such as abnormal ventricle size or a shift in
the midline or flow abnormalities. In addition, neonatal head studies are often
performed to detect bleeding.
WARNING
Do not aim the ultrasound beam toward the posterior orbit, because acoustic
output is greater than that recommended for ophthalmic use.
Table 3-7 lists important information about neonatal head studies.
Obstetrical Studies
Obstetrical studies are performed with fundamental imaging or Tissue Harmonic
Imaging to obtain images of the fetus that can be used for
• Detecting maternal or fetal structural abnormalities
• Imaging and measuring anatomic parameters of the fetus
• Determining blood flow patterns and velocities
Table 3-8 lists important information about obstetrical studies.
