BACKGROUND: Transcranial color Doppler (TCD) is currently the only noninvasive bedside tool capable of providing real-time information on cerebral hemodynamics. However, being operator dependent, TCD monitoring is not feasible in many institutions. R...
BACKGROUND: Transcranial sonography (TCS) plays a crucial role in diagnosing Parkinson's disease. However, the intricate nature of TCS pathological features, the lack of consistent diagnostic criteria, and the dependence on physicians' expertise can ...

OBJECTIVES: Transcranial sonography has been used as a valid neuroimaging tool to diagnose Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aimed to develop a modified transcranial sonography (TCS) technique based on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) mo...
BACKGROUND: Right to left shunt (RLS), including patent foramen ovale, is a recognized risk factor for stroke. RLS/patent foramen ovale diagnosis is made by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), which is insensitive, transesophageal echocardiography,...
Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) causes disability and mortality in the neurointensive care population. Current methods for monitoring ICP are invasive. We designed a deep learning framework using a domain adversarial neural network to estimate ...

Cerebrovascular disease refers to damage to brain tissue caused by impaired intracranial blood circulation. It usually presents clinically as an acute nonfatal event and is characterized by high morbidity, disability, and mortality. Transcranial Dopp...
Transcranial Doppler is an instrumental ultrasound method capable of providing data on various brain pathologies, in particular, the study of cerebral hemodynamics in stroke, quickly, economically, and with repeatability of the data themselves. Howev...
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) secondary to vasospasm is a determinate of outcomes following non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). SAH patients are monitored using transcranial doppler (TCD) to measure cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFv). H...
