Al Zahra Private Hospital in Dubai will be the first hospital in the UAE to use a new brain scan technique that helps detect, measure and classify autism in children as young as three months old.
The move follows the publication of a new research paper that shows,for the first time, that Transcranial Ultrasonography (TUS) can help diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in babies.
Published in e-journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, the findings reveal the part of the brain that is affected by autism. When compared with neurotypical children, those with ASD were found to have increased extra-axial fluid and cortical abnormalities.
