Hand-Held Scanner Can Detect Brain Trauma
Feb-06-13
The handheld Infrascanner 2000 can be used to detect intracranial bleeding on the spot, quickly identifying people who may need follow up treatment or diagnosis.Recently approved by the FDA, the wand-like device takes advantage of near-infrared technology to determine any abnormalities in the brain’s light absorption. Using an eye-safe NIR diode laser and an optical detector, the Infrascanner measures the light absorption of both halves of the brain. A lack of symmetry indicates a likely hematoma caused by the build-up of blood, and the entire process takes about 2 minutes.
The Infrascanner Model 2000 differs from the previous model, the Infrascanner Model 1000 with the option of being powered by two AA batteries as well as arechargeable battery pack and increased durability.
