A portable, non-ionizing, and non-invasive brain scanner developed by the researchers at The University of Queensland is all set to pace-up the diagnosis of brain injuries and stroke by creating an immediate 3D image of the brain. The device may save lives and help to reduce brain damage and associated rehabilitation costs. Stroke is one of the most leading causes of death and disability in India. The estimated adjusted prevalence of stroke ranges 84-262/100,000 in rural areas and 334-424/100,000 in urban areas.
Timely diagnosis of stroke is important to reduce permanent disability or death and helps a positive recovery. The delay in treatment each hour leads to ageing of the brain by about 3.6 years. This portable 3D scanner can be used in emergency departments, ambulances and remote locations around the world. Mechanism This scanner is powered by an innovative algorithm that maps the…
