Neurosonography
Neurosonography, also known as neuro-sonography or neuroimaging ultrasound, is a medical imaging technique that uses ultrasound technology to visualize and assess structures within the brain and nervous system. It is a non-invasive and safe diagnostic tool commonly used in neonatal and pediatric care, but it can also be employed in adults when a non-invasive assessment of the brain is needed.

Here's some information about Neurosonography:
Neurosonography is a simple, established non-invasive technique for the intracranial assessment of preterm neonate. Apart from established indication in the evaluation of periventricular haemorrhage, it provides clue to wide range of pathology. This presentation provides a quick roadmap to the technique, imaging anatomy and spectrum of pathological imaging appearances encountered in neonates.
Sonographic examination of the neonatal brain remains an invaluable assessment tool in experienced hands. Many radiologists are not quite familiar with the spectrum of imaging appearances of the neonatal intracranium due to inadequate exposure.
Types of Neurosonography:
- Transfontanelle Ultrasound
- Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound (TCD)
- Carotid Doppler Ultrasound
Neurosonography finds application in neonatal brain imaging, brain tumor assessment, vascular studies, and monitoring neurological disorders in adults. Its advantages include safety, real-time imaging, and non-invasiveness, although it has limitations related to tissue penetration and operator skill. Overall, neurosonography is a valuable imaging technique for assessing brain and nervous system structures, offering important diagnostic insights across various patient populations.
