New ultrasound technique peers into newborn brains without radiation

This study uses special ultrasound techniques to look at blood flow and tissue stiffness in the brains of newborn babies. Researchers will scan about 100 infants who are less than 7 months old and being treated in the hospital for conditions like lack of oxygen or stroke. The goal is to better understand how the brain adapts after birth and during illness, not to test a new treatment.
