Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ultrasound is the best modality for demonstrating intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants because it is non-invasive, does not use ionizing radiation, and can be performed at the bedside. It also allows for real-time monitoring of changes in the hemorrhage. CT and MRI may also be used, but they require transport of the infant to the radiology department and may not be feasible in critical cases. Nuclear medicine and conventional radiography are not typically used for intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants.
