Imaging

Neuroimaging can be helpful in determining the etiology of CP and the timing of the insult. The Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the Practice Committee of the Child Neurology Society published two practice parameters that address the use of neuroimaging in the neonate and the child with suspected CP (36,37). Recommendations for imag­ing in the preterm neonate include a screening cranial ultrasonography on all infants disease or loss of previously obtained milestones.
