Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the feasibility of using shear wave elastography (SWE) to measure brain stiffness in neonates and infants, particularly focusing on differences between healthy infants and those with hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure (ICP).
- Conducted with 184 participants, the study includes healthy infants and those diagnosed with hydrocephalus, utilizing noninvasive techniques like B-mode and Doppler ultrasound alongside SWE to evaluate brain conditions.
- Results indicate that SWE can reliably produce measurements, successfully assessing brain stiffness in a majority of healthy infants, thus offering a potential diagnostic tool for detecting increased ICP in clinical settings.
