4Hospitals , as always, continues to collaborate with leading specialists in the field and this time returns with an educational project.

In a video message, Mr. Shalva Tsintskaladze, a radiologist at the Givi Zhvania Pediatrics University Clinic of Tbilisi State Medical University, explains in simple language why pelvic and neurosonoscopy examinations are necessary for infants.

These are not just preventive examinations — they are the foundation for a child’s healthy future.

According to the doctor, one simple, painless, and safe ultrasound scan could be crucial — detecting pathologies that are not visible until symptoms appear, but can have a serious impact on a child’s growth and development.

Hip dysplasia screening

Hip dysplasia is a condition that affects a child’s freedom of movement and future physical functionality.

Timely diagnosis:

• It prevents lameness, chronic pain, and the need for surgical intervention.

• The screening is completed in a few minutes and the results provide important information immediately.
  
  Neurosonoscopy — assessment of the structures of the infant’s brain

Neurosonoscopy allows us to detect conditions such as:

This examination is recommended in the first months of infancy and is important even when the infant appears clinically completely healthy.
