Neonatal Neuroimaging

Neonatal neuroimaging is a specialized imaging technique used to acquire images of the brain of neonates, infants, and young children. It provides a valuable tool for neurologists and other health professionals to detect and diagnose neurological, developmental, and congenital abnormalities in the early stages of life, allowing for effective and timely interventions. The technique is non-invasive, relatively safe and has a low radiation dose exposure, so it can be repeated multiple times. The images obtained by neonatal neuroimaging are also used to track changes in the structure and growth of a child’s brain over time.
