| dc.description.abstract | Medical imaging is constantly evolving, with
ultrasound remaining a versatile and reliable method for
visualizing the human body. While ultrasound is well
known for its applications in cardiac, abdominal, and
pelvic imaging, its use in brain imaging has been limited
due to the skull's attenuation of ultrasound waves.
Nonetheless, recent technological advancements have
renewed interest in ultrasound's potential to transform
brain imaging. These advancements, along with
ultrasound’s inherent advantages such as real-time
imaging, non-invasiveness, and cost-effectiveness, suggest
it could be a strong alternative to traditional brain imaging
techniques like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and
Computed Tomography (CT). This review examines the
significant potential of ultrasound in brain imaging,
offering a comparative analysis with MRI and CT, and
discussing its strengths and limitations. It aims to
thoroughly review recent technological improvements,
current clinical applications, and future research
possibilities. By addressing the drawbacks of MRI and CT,
such as high costs and limited accessibility, this review
highlights how ultrasound can become a viable and
innovative option in brain imaging, promoting safer, more
affordable, and widely accessible diagnostic methods. | en_US |
