Transcranial sonography (TCS) of the brain parenchyma
Measurement of the substantia nigra, third ventricle, and lateral ventricles; intracranial pressure monitoring
In addition to measuring the substantia nigra, Neuromobil is also proficient in measuring the third ventricle and lateral ventricles at the diencephalic level, intracranial pressure monitoring via arterial flow measurement, as well as orbital ultrasound (ONSD / optic nerve sheath diameter).
For around 20 years, Neuromobil has been conducting highly sensitive measurements of the substantia nigra in cases of suspected idiopathic Parkinson’s disease within the extrapyramidal system. As a specialized ultrasound technique, brain parenchyma sonography is used for diagnosing Parkinsonian syndromes. This method visualizes key areas of the mesencephalic level, such as the substantia nigra, which play a crucial role in Parkinson’s disease. With the help of brain parenchyma sonography, Parkinson’s disease can be diagnosed at early stages, and the different syndromes can be distinguished from each other with greater reliability.
Furthermore, Neuromobil is proficient in measuring the third ventricle and lateral ventricles at the diencephalic level, intracranial pressure monitoring through arterial flow measurement, as well as orbital ultrasound (optic nerve sheath diameter / ONSD).
