| Research Abstract |
By developing a new image-processing system, pulsatile tissue-motion caused by artery pulsation of blood flow has been detected and three-dimensionally (3D) projected from ultrasonic movies of two-dimensional sections in neonatal cranium. The pulsatile tissue clearly represented the 3D structures of several arteries in brain, which is useful for diagnosis of ischemic diseases. Since our system enables us to visualize pulsatile tissues in real time, it is effective for assisting 'probe-handling'as well as 'interpretation of tissue motion'in the ultrasonic diagnosis, especially for abnormal neonates in incubator who have great difficulty to carry them into examining room with CT and MRI apparatus.
