USG CRANIUM
Also Known As:
Cranial Ultrasound
Neurosonography
Infant Brain Ultrasound
USG Cranium is an ultrasound examination used primarily in infants to assess the brain through the fontanelles. It helps detect conditions such as hydrocephalus, hemorrhage, structural abnormalities, and infections. This non-invasive scan provides real-time imaging and is especially useful for monitoring premature babies and newborn neurological issues.
Includes 4 Test Parameters
Ultrasound using anterior fontanelle window
Detect hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, congenital brain abnormalities
Ventricles, brain parenchyma, midline structures
No radiation (ultrasound-based)
Includes Test 5 Parameters
USG (Ultrasonography) of the cranium is a non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to examine the structures inside the skull, especially in infants and young children whose fontanelles (soft spots) are still open. It helps evaluate the brain, ventricles, and any abnormalities in the cranial cavity.
Doctors recommend a cranial USG to check for conditions such as hydrocephalus (fluid accumulation in the brain), congenital abnormalities, brain bleeding, infections, or cysts. It is most commonly performed in newborns and infants because the skull bones are not fully fused, allowing sound waves to pass through.
No special preparation is required. The child may need to be calm and still during the scan, and a caregiver may be asked to hold the baby gently. No fasting or medication is usually needed.
The test is completely painless and safe, as it uses sound waves instead of radiation. There are no known harmful effects, making it ideal for infants and children.
The procedure generally takes about ten to fifteen minutes. Most centres provide the report immediately or within an hour after the examination.
