初步的临床结果报告从一个新的真实的时间，二维超声扫描仪修改成人头部应用。优化的换能器设计和动态聚焦相控阵成像系统的使用已经导致了脑的超声断层图像，这比以前的尝试有了显著的改进。脑室、胼胝体和其他中线结构的水平和冠状面图像通常以45°扇形格式显示。此外，还能真实的实时显示搏动的脑动脉。通过使用该系统的可选择M模式功能，可以获得有关脑血管通畅性的定量信息。结果表明，真实的实时超声断层成像具有潜在的临床应用价值。
Initial clinical results are reported from a new real time, 2-dimensional ultrasound scanner modified for adult cephalic applications. An optimized transducer design and the use of the dynamically focused phased array imaging system have resulted in ultrasound tomograms of the brain which are significant improvements over previous attempts. Horizontal and coronal images of the ventricles, the corpus callosum and other midline structures are routinely displayed in a 45° sector format. In addition, pulsating cerebral arteries are displayed in real time. Quantitative information can be obtained concerning cerebral vascular patency by using the selectable M-mode feature of this system. The results indicate that real time ultrasound tomography has potential for clinical application.
