Book a USG Head (Cranial Ultrasound) at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL-accredited diagnostic centre and a NABH Certified Pathology Laboratory. Safe, accurate, and no-radiation cranial ultrasound is used to assess the brain in a safe way, through the open fontanelles (soft spots), in newborns and young infants.
Our highly trained radiologists deliver accurate imaging and timely reports to aid in timely diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up in the diagnosis of different pediatric neurological syndromes in neonates.
About USG Head
The USG, or cranial ultrasound (also called Neurosonography), is a non-invasive imaging test utilizing high-frequency sound to assess the brain of newborns and young infants. An ultrasound probe, which doesn't produce any form of radiation, is positioned on top of the uncovered fontanelles, and on this basis, in detail, the brain is seen.
Cranial ultrasound is not a method of imaging that is generally used in MRI or CT, as it is generally only applicable to infants where the fontanelles have not closed. In older children and adults, the imaging is not routine because of the fact that the bones of the skull do not allow for good visualization of the brain.
In Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, cutting-edge ultrasound equipment is used to offer correct imaging of the brain in newborns for diagnosis and monitoring.
What is a USG Head Scan?
A USG Head Scan creates real-time images of the infant's brain through the natural acoustic windows provided by the fontanelles.
The examination helps evaluate:
- Brain ventricles
- Brain tissue
- Midline brain structures
- Intracranial fluid collections
- Congenital brain abnormalities
- Brain development in newborns and infants
The procedure is painless, non-invasive, and completely free from radiation.
Why is a USG Head Performed?
Your pediatrician or neonatologist may recommend a cranial ultrasound for:
- Evaluation of hydrocephalus
- Detection of intraventricular hemorrhage (brain bleeding), especially in premature infants
- Assessment of congenital brain abnormalities
- Evaluation of neonatal seizures
- Investigation of suspected brain infections
- Assessment of ventricular enlargement
- Monitoring of previously diagnosed neurological conditions
- Follow-up of high-risk newborns and premature babies

Reporting: Within 01 hour*
- Carry the baby's doctor's prescription and any previous ultrasound, CT, MRI, laboratory reports, or hospital records.
- No fasting or special preparation is required unless specifically advised by your doctor.
- Feed the baby before the examination, if possible, as a calm or sleeping baby helps obtain clearer images.
- Dress the baby in comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the head.
- Bring any previous medical records related to premature birth, neonatal intensive care (NICU) admission, or neurological conditions.
- Inform the doctor or sonologist if the baby has undergone any recent surgery or has any ongoing medical condition.
- Arrive at the imaging center at least 20–30 minutes before the scheduled appointment.
- Follow the sonologist's instructions during the examination to help keep the baby comfortable and still.
