Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Introduction: Ultrasound is a non-ionizing‚ medical imaging modality that uses high-frequency sound waves and their echoes to produce images of organs and their movement in real time. A major limitation of ultrasound imaging is the often poor definition of the produced image. This poor image definition is attributed to ultrasound frequency in which there is a trade-off between spatial resolution and attenuation. This trade-off has been remedied by the introduction of

Head Ultrasound‚ Infant An ultrasound scan of the head uses harmless‚ painless sound waves to paint a picture of the brain. It is done by placing an ultrasound probe (transducer) over the soft spot on a baby’s head (fontanelle). Ultrasound is a safe‚ painless‚ noninvasive procedure. No X-rays are involved. A head ultrasound tests for bleeding inside the head (intracranial hemorrhage). This is a common problem for babies who are born prematurely. It is difficult to predict the presence or absence
