Safe Bedside- compatible Reliable Early imaging Serial imaging:

Brain maturationEvolution of lesions

Inexpensive Suitable for screening

Exclude/demonstrate cerebral pathology Assess timing of injury Assess neurological prognosis Help make decisions on continuation of

neonatal intensive care Optimise treatment and support

Transucers : 5–7.5–10 MHz Appropriately sized Standard examination: use 7.5–8 MHz Tiny infant and/or superficial structures: use

additional higher frequency (10 MHz) Large infant, thick hair, and/or deep

structures: use additional lower frequency (5 MHz)
