Waveguide Elastography Used to Study Traumatic Brain Injuries
According to research from physicist Anthony J. Romano, PhD., with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, a process called “waveguide elastography” will allow medical providers to gain insight into how head injuries have physically affected their patients’ brains. Romano described the method during a presentation given at the 179th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America and is reportedly using the process to study the brains of injured hockey players in order to uncover new data about brain health.
