METHODS OF NEUROISIZATION IN DIAGNOSIS OF PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE CHILDREN’S BRAIN

Currently, the methods of neuroimaging become crucial for the diagnosis of pathological changes in the brain. The children’s neurology and neurosurgery use neurosonography, X-ray computed tomography and magnetic resonance computed tomography for immediate visualization of brain structures. These are modern high-precision diagnostic methods that allow one to assess structural changes in brain tissues and determine the state of liquorodynamic space.

Visualization of brain structures is necessary at an early age, since a large number of newborns and infants have pathological changes in the brain, the identification of which fundamentally changes the nature of therapy. Diagnosis of various diseases in children is especially important in the early stages of disease, which permits one to determine the strategy and tactics of treatment and to apply appropriate therapy. The choice of the method of neuroimaging for children with brain pathology is determined both by clinical indications and by the resolving capabilities of the method.
