Ultrasound-Based Ex Vivo Technique for Quickly Measuring Lesion Volumes Following Traumatic Brain Injury

EasyChair Preprint 14761

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a critical medical condition that often results in the formation of brain lesions, which can significantly impact patient outcomes. Accurate and timely quantification of these lesions is crucial for effective treatment planning and prognosis. This study presents an ultrasound-based ex vivo technique designed for the rapid measurement of lesion volumes following TBI. Traditional methods for assessing brain lesions, such as MRI and CT scans, though effective, are often time-consuming and resource-intensive. The proposed ultrasound method offers a swift, cost-effective alternative with comparable accuracy. Using ex vivo brain tissue samples, this technique employs high-frequency ultrasound to capture detailed images of TBI-induced lesions. Advanced image processing algorithms are then utilized to quantify lesion volumes with precision. The method's effectiveness was validated against standard imaging techniques, demonstrating strong correlation and reliability. Moreover, the ultrasound-based approach significantly reduces the time required for lesion assessment, providing near-instantaneous results without sacrificing accuracy.
