Ninety-five infants from 26 to 42 weeks of gestational age were studied with a simple standardized cerebral transillumination technique utilizing a Chun gun fitted with a clear flexible disc to establish normal measurements and to test the hypothesis that transillumination is useful in differentiating "catch-up" growth from hydrocephalus. One group of infants were measured at birth; the other group were infants grown to similar gestational age and serially measured. Data from these groups were found to be similar. Transillumination was not found to be a useful technique for separating "catch-up" growth infants from the normal population, but was found to be potentially useful in separating the normal and "catch-up" population from children with hydrocephalus or serious anatomic abnormalities of the central nervous system.
采用一种简单的标准化脑透照技术对95名胎龄在26至42周的婴儿进行了研究，该技术使用配备透明柔性盘的春枪来确定正常测量值，并检验脑透照有助于区分“追赶性”生长与脑积水这一假设。一组婴儿在出生时进行测量；另一组是生长至相似胎龄并进行连续测量的婴儿。发现这些组的数据相似。未发现脑透照是将“追赶性”生长婴儿与正常人群区分开来的有用技术，但发现它在将正常和“追赶性”人群与患有脑积水或中枢神经系统严重解剖异常的儿童区分开来方面可能有用。
