69 results about "Transcranial Doppler" patented technology

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) and transcranial color Doppler (TCCD) are types of Doppler ultrasonography that measure the velocity of blood flow through the brain's blood vessels by measuring the echoes of ultrasound waves moving transcranially (through the cranium). These modes of medical imaging conduct a spectral analysis of the acoustic signals they receive and can therefore be classified as methods of active acoustocerebrography. They are used as tests to help diagnose emboli, stenosis, vasospasm from a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding from a ruptured aneurysm), and other problems. These relatively quick and inexpensive tests are growing in popularity. The tests are effective for detecting sickle cell disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, subarachnoid hemorrhage, arteriovenous malformations, and cerebral circulatory arrest. The tests are possibly useful for perioperative monitoring and meningeal infection. The equipment used for these tests is becoming increasingly portable, making it possible for a clinician to travel to a hospital, to a doctor's office, or to a nursing home for both inpatient and outpatient studies. The tests are often used in conjunction with other tests such as MRI, MRA, carotid duplex ultrasound and CT scans. The tests are also used for research in cognitive neuroscience (see Functional transcranial Doppler, below).

Emboli detection in the brain using a transcranial doppler photoacoustic device capable of vasculature and perfusion measurement

A device, method, and system for detecting emboli in the brain is disclosed. A transcranial Doppler photoacoustic device transmits a first energy to a region of interest at an internal site of a subject to produce an image and blood flow velocities of a region of interest by outputting an optical excitation energy to said region of interest and heating said region, causing a transient thermoelastic expansion and produce a wideband ultrasonic emission. Detectors receive the wideband ultrasonic emission and then generate an image of said region of interest from said wideband ultrasonic emission. A Doppler ultrasound signal will also be deployed to image the region of interest. Doppler presents changes in velocity to map blood flow. Additionally, a dye can be given to visualize the brain vasculature and a perfusion measurement can be made in various regions of the brain along with the transcranial Doppler and the photoacoustic screening. Systems are taught using resultory medical data for better triage within an enhanced stroke ecosystem.

Device and Methods for Targeting of Transcranial Ultrasound Neuromodulation by Automated Transcranial Doppler Imaging

Methods and systems for transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation as well as targeting such neuromodulation in the brain are disclosed. Automated transcranial Doppler imaging (aTCD) of blood flow in the brain is performed and one or more 3-dimensional maps of the neurovasculature are generated. Ultrasound energy is delivered transcranially in conjunction to induce neuromodulation. One or more brain regions for neuromodulation are targeted by using brain blood vessel landmarks identified by aTCD components. The landmarks are used for initial targeting of the neuromodulation to one or more brain regions of interest and / or for maintaining neuromodulation targeting despite user or device movements. Acoustic contrast agents may be employed to generate broadband ultrasound waves locally at the site of target cells. Transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation may be achieved by having confocal ultrasound waves differing in acoustic frequency by a frequency effective for neuromodulation interfere to generate vibrational forces in the brain that induce neuromodulation.
