<p>A method for predicting whether ultrasound insonation is likely to be effective in treating the symptoms of small vessel occlusion, including opening an occluded blood vessel. The method involves the steps of: identifying vessel occlusion in a patient; insonating the appropriate vessel using m-mode ultrasound, identifying on the ultrasound image the area of occlusion, and identifying whether there is blood flow beyond the area of occlusion. Identification of blood flow beyond the area of occlusion is by way of a directional flare signal. This identification indicates that ultrasound insonation is likely to be effective in treating the symptoms of small vessel occlusion, including opening the occluded blood vessel.</p> |
