Preprint
Helmet ultrasound for brain imaging in post-hemicraniectomy patients
arXiv, 2025 [PDF]
Y. Zhang, et al., L.V. Wang*.

Noninvasive imaging deep into the adult brain at submillimeter and millisecond scales remains a challenge in medical imaging. Here, we present a helmet-based ultrasound system designed for patients post-hemicraniectomy, enabling high-resolution functional brain monitoring...
