Microwave Helmet Yields Fast and Safe Evaluation of Head Injuries
From: Medical Design Technology - 03/09/2017

Results from a clinical study demonstrates that microwave measurements can be
used for a rapid detection of intracranial bleeding in traumatic brain
injuries. A recently published scientific paper shows that health care
professionals get vital information and can quickly decide on appropriate
treatment if patients are examined using a microwave helmet.

The study demonstrates a new health care application for microwave
measurements. Previously, microwave measurements have been used to
distinguish stroke caused by bleeding in the brain from stroke caused by
cloth.

The new study shows that the technology also applies to patients affected by
traumatic brain injury, which is the most common cause of death and
disability among young people. This type of injuries are often caused by
traffic accidents, assaults, or falls. An estimated 10 million people are
affected annually by traumatic brain injuries.
