title: [Ultrasound real-time-B-mode--scanning of the brain in newborns (author's transl)].
abstract: Ultrasound real-time-B-mode-scanning of the brain in 100 severely ill preterm and term infants during intensive care. Technique of horizontal and sagittal scans by linear arrays (3.5 and 5 MHz) with a self-made flexible water-bath for improvement of contact between skull and probe. Normal scans in comparison to pathological findings like intracerebral, intraventricular subdural bleeding, paraventricular necrosis, hydrocephalus, ventriculitis, and brain edema with compressed basal cisterns and ventricles. Comparison between computer-tomography and ultrasound real-time-B-scan with good results. CT may be replaced by sonography in the intensive care of severe ill infants.
