Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is challenging to assess even with recent advancements in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Ultrasound (US) imaging has previously been less utilized in TBI compared to conventional imaging because of limited resolution in the intracranial space. However, there have been substantial improvements in contrast-enhanced US and development of novel techniques such as intravascular US. Also, continued research provides further insight into cerebrovascular parameters from transcranial Doppler imaging. These advancements in US imaging provides the community of TBI imaging researchers and clinicians new opportunities in clinically monitoring and understanding the pathologic mechanisms of TBI.
即使在计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像方面有了最新进展，创伤性脑损伤（TBI）的评估仍具有挑战性。与传统成像相比，由于颅内空间分辨率有限，超声（US）成像此前在TBI中的应用较少。然而，对比增强超声有了显著改进，并且开发了诸如血管内超声等新技术。此外，持续的研究进一步深入了解了经颅多普勒成像中的脑血管参数。超声成像的这些进展为TBI成像研究人员和临床医生群体提供了临床监测和理解TBI病理机制的新机会。
