Although real-time sonography is an excellent imaging modality for the neonatal brain, examination of the adult brain has been limited. Attempts to study the older subject through the ossified calvarium have resulted in poor quality and non-diagnostic images. Eighteen patients with various calvarial defects were examined for a variety of intracranial abnormalities. A mechanical sector scanner was used. Disease was clearly defined and accurate correlation with computed tomography resulted. Subjects without intracranial disease and patients with cerebral atrophy, porencephalic cysts, hydrocephalus, hematomas, and neoplasia were included in this study. The midline structures, ventricles and proximal midbrain structures were clearly visualized. This procedure appears useful to evaluate changes in the size of the ventricles and intracerebral masses in the postoperative patient.
尽管实时超声是新生儿脑部极佳的成像方式，但对成人大脑的检查却很有限。试图透过已骨化的颅骨对年长受试者进行研究，结果得到的图像质量很差且无法用于诊断。对18例有各种颅骨缺损的患者进行检查，以查找各种颅内异常情况。使用了机械扇形扫描仪。疾病得到了清晰界定，与计算机断层扫描结果有准确的相关性。本研究纳入了无颅内疾病的受试者以及患有脑萎缩、脑穿通畸形囊肿、脑积水、血肿和肿瘤的患者。中线结构、脑室和中脑近端结构都能清晰显示。该检查方法似乎有助于评估术后患者脑室大小和脑内肿块的变化。
