Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Medical Ultrasound
  • Cerebrovascular Imaging

Background:

  • Conventional neuroradiologic methods have limitations in real-time functional assessment.
  • Noninvasive techniques are crucial for serial patient monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic potential of transcranial color-coded real-time sonography.
  • To assess its ability to visualize brain structures and blood flow.
  • To determine its utility as a complementary imaging modality.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a phased-array ultrasound system with color-coded blood flow.
  • Performed scans in axial and coronal planes through temporal acoustic bone windows.
  • Employed Doppler mode for semiquantitative analysis of vascular blood flow.

Main Results:

  • Successfully visualized parenchymal and vascular structures, including the ventricular system, in 49 out of 52 subjects.
  • Enabled unequivocal identification of the circle of Willis using color-coded blood flow.
  • Demonstrated the capability for semiquantitative analysis of cerebral blood flow phenomena.

Conclusions:

  • Transcranial color-coded sonography is a feasible and noninvasive method for adult brain imaging.
  • It effectively visualizes intracranial vascular structures and functional blood flow.
  • This mobile technique can complement conventional neuroradiologic imaging for on-line functional studies.
