Babygram
Body was added:

Babygram is a radiograph that captures the newborn's entire body, including limbs. Alternatively, it may only capture the chest and abdomen.

Indications

Babygram is done in AP and lateral views in post-mortem studies of the stillborn foetus or after the termination of pregnancy due to gross congenital anomalies 1.

Babygram is also used to determine the line positions of umbilical venous and umbilical arterial catheters2.

The study also screens premature infants for lung surfactant deficiency and necrotising enterocolitis 3.
