Ultrasonic Echoencephalograph Portable
Ultrasonic Echoencephalograph Portable
Ultrasonic Echoencephalograph (echoencephaloscope) is a classic ultrasound device designed to diagnose diseases and injuries of the brain. The difference between the portable and stationary versions is in the configuration of the system delivery, which includes a fully functional mini-laptop and a special case for easy movement with the system.
Description
Computerized Ultrasonic echoencephaloscope for diagnosing brain disorders and injuries is designed to conduct a one-dimensional echoencephalographic examination of the brain using generally accepted methods.
The system allows for diagnostics of conditions of the brain and intracranial vessels in order to identify brain disorders and injuries using echo-pulse location methods. The complex can be effectively used in emergency and planned neurology, traumatology, resuscitation, neurosurgery, etc.
The device is connected via a USB interface to a mini-laptop, onto which the software is installed that implements generally accepted methods for measuring and evaluating the main parameters and identifying pathological changes in the brain.
The device uses two sensors: one for emission modes, the other for transmission mode.
System capabilities
Computerized Ultrasonic echoencephaloscope for diagnosing brain disorders and injuries allows to:
- determine the M-echo offset;
- implement the following techniques: transmission mode, M-echo and ventriculoscopy, pulsoscopy;
- measure the ventricular width;
- assess the level of pulsations;
- calculate the brain mantle index and the midsellar index.
The echoencephaloscope is equipped with a software-controlled automatic temporal gain control (TGC), which enables the recording of high-quality echo signals.
A probing depth of 230 mm with a “dead” zone of no more than 15 mm allows for the identification of pathological formations in the periosteal cranial space.
Ultrasonic echoencephaloscope has the following unique features:
- mode of automatic search, detection and identification of reflected echo signals without the need for manual search by the examiner;
- sensor positioning correction mode for antagonist zones;
- a mode for accumulating statistics on reflected echo signals to increase the accuracy of measurements and reduce the degree of subjectivity in assessing the results obtained;
- real-time pulsation assessment technique.
Software functions:
- sorting of patients into groups;
- saving examination results and reporting forms in the database;
- printing results;
- the presence of a controlled (at the software level) automatic temporal gain control (TGC) with the ability to quickly select the required TGC law from the preset variants;
- formation and saving of own templates of TGC laws;
- start/stop of probing;
- selection of work technique;
- editing the results of automatic detection of echo complexes and calculation of basic parameters;
- automatic detection of transmission echo signal;
- measurement of transmission distance from antagonist zones;
- automatic formation of a transmission mark during M-echo measurement;
- automatic detection of M-echo and the final complex;
- measuring the distances to the M-echo and the final complex from the antagonist zones;
- calculation of the M-echo shift value and comparison with the limit;
- overlay for comparison of reflection signals from M-echo on the left and right;
- automatic detection of ventricles;
- automatic calculation of the pulsation value;
- the ability to manually select a section of recorded echo signals for correct calculation of the pulsation value;
- availability of standard data on the main parameters;
- a built-in database of typical phrases required for quick generation of conclusions based on the examinations carried out;
- generation of a reporting form, including echo signal graphs and calculation tables;
- the ability to view the report form in Microsoft Office Word.
