Helmet Apparatus and System with Carotid Collar Means On-Boarded

摘要

Apparatus for helmeting with carotid collars works in conjunction with a transcranial Doppler, phased array photoacoustic device to transmit 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. Systems integrate and register the signals for use in, for example, acute stroke care.

主权项

1. A device for determining brain and neck arterial blood vessel anatomy, blood flow velocity, presence of arterial stenosis or obstruction, and determination of brain oxygenation comprising, in combination:
an array of ultrasound transducers; actuators coupled to the array of ultrasound transducers; said actuators enabled to alter, skew, move, rotate, or change the position of the transducers; said actuators enabled to be controlled remotely; and the array of ultrasound transducers having the ability to receive and send Doppler shifted signals, regarding blood flow from brain and neck vasculatures and oxygenation, to a remote site.
