Embodiment Construction

[0085]The following description is not intended to limit the technological or legal scope of the invention. For example, examples of various embodiments of the invention are only aids to understanding the features, functions, and benefits of the invention in its broadest sense.

[0086]FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the invention in use, a situation generally indicated as 1. Boxes 2 and 3 illustrate portions of this embodiment that optionally may be physically separated from each other, but act cooperatively, using standard remote communications techniques, whether wired or wireless. The invention is used to diagnose stroke in a patient 4. Ultrasonic energy is generated in generator 5, then sent to and received from the patient 4 by transducer 6. The imager 9 interprets the reflected signal, which is affected (in part) by the nature and quality of the dynamic coupling 8 of the transducer 6 to the patient 4. The scope of the invention is not limited to the manner in w...

Abstract

A medical diagnostic method, system and related equipment particularly adapted to diagnose disorders of the blood circulation serving the head and neck, and especially the brain. A preferred use of the system is early, rapid, accurate, diagnosis of stroke, especially whether the stroke is due to blockage of a blood vessel or leakage from the blood vessel.
