usg cranium scanning for 2 months baby what is this and how will they do this scanning to my baby?

A. hello mom The head ultrasound can be done with the baby on his or her stomach or back, or even in a parent's arms, if necessary. The room is usually dark so the images can be seen clearly on the computer screen. A technician trained in ultrasound imaging will spread a clear, warm gel on your child's scalp over the fontanel This gel helps with the transmission of the sound waves. The technician will then move a small wand over the gel. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves and a computer measures how the sound waves bounce back from the head. The computer changes those sound waves into images to be analyzed. Sometimes a doctor will come in at the end of the test to meet your child and take a few more pictures. The procedure usually takes 15-30 minutes.
