infantscan
Infantscan is a term used to describe infant-targeted medical imaging protocols and technologies designed to image newborns and young infants. It is not a single standardized technique, but rather a family of imaging approaches tailored to the unique physiology and safety considerations of infancy. In clinical practice, infantscan may refer to rapid, low-dose protocols and bedside imaging options that minimize transport and sedation while maximizing diagnostic yield.
Common modalities within an infantscan framework include ultrasound, particularly transfontanelle cranial ultrasound for evaluation of intracranial
Clinical uses encompass evaluation of neurological injury or congenital malformations in newborns, assessment of respiratory and
History and governance of the practice reflect advances in pediatric radiology, neonatology, and medical imaging technology
