  2. Cranial ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_ultrasound

    Cranial ultrasound is a technique for scanning the brain using high-frequency sound waves. It is used almost exclusively in babies because their fontanelle (the soft spot on the skull) provides an "acoustic window". A different form of ultrasound-based brain scanning, transcranial Doppler, can be used in any age group.

  3. Non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-invasive_measurement...

    Additional risks presented to patients can include high costs associated with an ICP sensor's implantation procedure, and the limited access to trained personnel, e.g. a neurosurgeon. Alternative, non-invasive measurement of intracranial pressure , non-invasive methods for estimating ICP have, as a result, been sought.

  4. Neuroimaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroimaging

    Cranial ultrasound is usually only used in babies, whose open fontanelles provide acoustic windows allowing ultrasound imaging of the brain. Advantages include the absence of ionising radiation and the possibility of bedside scanning, but the lack of soft-tissue detail means MRI is preferred for some conditions.

  5. Transcranial Doppler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_Doppler

    Two methods of recording may be used for this procedure. The first uses "B-mode" imaging, which displays a 2-dimensional image of the skull, brain, and blood vessels as seen by the ultrasound probe. Once the desired blood vessel is found, blood flow velocities may be measured with a pulsed Doppler effect probe, which graphs velocities over time.

  6. Image-guided surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image-guided_surgery

    Image-guided surgery helps surgeons perform safer and less invasive procedures and has become a recognized standard of care in managing disorders including cranial, otorhinolaryngology, spine, orthopedic, and cardiovascular. [4]

  8. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

    Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.

  9. Functional ultrasound imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_Ultrasound_Imaging

    Functional ultrasound imaging (fUS) is a medical ultrasound imaging technique for detecting or measuring changes in neural activities or metabolism, such as brain activity loci, typically through measuring hemodynamic (blood flow) changes.
