Abstract
OBJECTIVE
In this era of radiation awareness, high-quality ultrasound is more important than ever. Although cranial sonography equipment has advanced greatly, application of modern techniques has not been utilized in a fashion commensurate to other cross-sectional modalities. This article will describe modern cranial sonography techniques, including the utility of linear imaging, use of additional fontanels, and screening Doppler imaging.
CONCLUSION
When modern protocols are used, cranial sonography is highly accurate for the detection of cranial abnormalities.
