Neonatal Brain Ultrasound With CEUS and Elastography
Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound and Elastography of the Neonatal Brain
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The aim of our study is to investigate changes of brain perfusion and elasticity in neonates during the time that a neonate is adapting to live outside the womb and during diseases that are suspected to affect neonatal brain perfusion. We use contrast enhanced ultrasound (sulphur hexafluoride) and ultrasound-assisted elastography to evaluate the state of brain perfusion. We will study neonates recruited from the Neonatal Units of Turku University Hospital.
