Where to make ultrasound to a newborn?

Where to make ultrasound to a newborn is an urgent issue for all parents who care about the health of their baby. Ultrasound examination is mandatory for children aged 1-2 months. Such an early diagnosis allows us to identify congenital pathologies and begin rapid treatment with a more accurate prognosis for recovery.

Ultrasonic diagnosis of the newborn consists of different types of studies, which the pediatrician appoints depending on the clinical symptoms of the baby. Let's consider more in detail the main types of ultrasound of newborns:

Brain research (neurosonography) is carried out if the child has had complications, the baby was born prematurely, at birth was asphyxia, convulsions or birth trauma. In the first month after birth, the uzi is prescribed with the rapid growth of the child's head, multiple small developmental abnormalities, and suspected pathology. The study is carried out through the fontanel.

  • Ultrasound of the abdominal cavity is also considered a planned study, but when there are complaints, it is carried out unscheduled. Diagnosis is carried out on an empty stomach, and a few days before the procedure, the nursing mother should exclude from the diet products that cause gas formation.
