Real-time compound scanning for echoencephalography

A new ultrasonic scanning method is introduced for examination of the infant brain as for instance in cases of intracerebral haemorrhages or hydrocephalus. The examinations are carried out with an electronic phased array compound scanner with dynamic focussing. Tomograms of the cranium are obtained...

Description
Summary:A new ultrasonic scanning method is introduced for examination of the infant brain as for instance in cases of intracerebral haemorrhages or hydrocephalus. The examinations are carried out with an electronic phased array compound scanner with dynamic focussing. Tomograms of the cranium are obtained in three dimensions. With dynamic focussing arbitrarily chosen brain structures can be shown in more detail. The examinations can be carried out at the bed-side or even in an incubator.
