ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for producing an image of the brain by ultrasonic scanning, wherein brain metabolism is measured and displayed by monitoring amplitudes of localized changes of intracranial interfaces uses a flexible array applied to the scalp overlying the skull to produce a superposed grey scale image representing static structures and a color-coded pattern representing motion information.
