Service Providers for USG of Brain(F726)
An Ultrasound (USG) of the Brain (F726) is a diagnostic procedure primarily used for imaging the brain in infants, as their skull bones are not fully ossified, allowing sound waves to pass through. It helps detect conditions like brain bleeds, ventriculomegaly, or congenital brain abnormalities. The procedure involves applying a small amount of gel to the baby's fontanel (soft spot on the head), and a probe is used to emit sound waves that create real-time images of the brain's structure. It is non-invasive, painless, and carries minimal risk. The test is commonly used in newborns, especially those in neonatal intensive care.
