Abstract Preterm neonates refer to babies born before the 37th week of gestation. When compared with infants delivered at term, preterm babies have higher incidences of IVH, respiratory sickness, patent ductus arteriosus and sepsis.Ultrasound is the most widely used cranial imaging modality in the NICU to document the presence of brain diseases. It is less expensive, spares the patient from radiation, does not require sedation, and allows bedside evaluation in gravely ill infants who cannot be transported to radiology for imaging. |
