An Approach to Noninvasive Analysis of Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Using an Ultrasonic Probe

  • Conference paper
Intracranial Pressure VII

Abstract

Several approaches using ultrasonic (UT) waves to study changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) have been previously reported. However, the studies were not successful in obtaining information throughout the range of the pathological variations in ICP levels (Oka et al. 1971). Additionally, operative procedures were necessary to open a hole in the skull (Itoh et al. 1986) or to install a spring coil (Numoto et al. 1983). The aim of our study was to procure noninvasively continuous wave forms and levels of ICP by using a UT probe on the scalp. The following is a report of experimental results including some clinical examples with our method.
