[Comparison of computed tomography and ultrasonic studies of the brain in newborns and infants. Correlation in 40 cases].
We correlate the cases of forty neonates and nursing infants whose brains were studied using ultrasound and CT scan. The indications for the aforementioned studies were: 15 cases of dysmorphism, 16 cases with significant neurological signs and 9 cases of preterm neonates with body weight less than 1,500 g. The results of the correlations were as follows: 24 cases demonstrated similar images (60%), 14 cases showed a better resolution of the images by ultrasound (35%), better resolution of the images by CT scan in 2.5% and non-coincidental images in one case (2.5%). We conclude that in the specialty of neonatology, using ultrasound has more advantages than the CT scan method.
