Gray-scale ultrasound findings of hypoxic-ischemic injury in term infants.
Misun HwangPublished in: Pediatric radiology (2021)
Brain ultrasound has become a critical tool for bedside screening and monitoring of hypoxic-ischemic injury in infants. Transfontanellar ultrasound in infants allows delineation of anatomical structures of the brain and posterior fossa. The technique's low cost, lack of ionizing radiation and repeatability make it a popular alternative to magnetic resonance imaging. The published literature on interpreting hypoxic-ischemic injury on brain ultrasound is wide and varied, yet diagnostic challenges remain when detecting subtle or diffuse changes. This pictorial essay summarizes and illustrates the spectrum of sonographic findings of hypoxic-ischemic injuries in term infants.
