脳神経超音波機器の現在と未来

―脳神経領域における超音波新技術―

抄録

There have been many recent technological advances in ultrasound diagnostic equipment. First, I will discuss two technologies called “Micro Fine Imaging” and “Broad Band Flow Imaging”, which are already installed in a current commercial ultrasound system. I will then discuss two aspects of future technology: “Quantification of ultrasound image information” and “Three-dimensional imaging by ultrasound”. These technologies are expected to increase the available amount of diagnostic information.
