New Head-Scanning Ultrasound Technology Could Help Diagnose Brain Injuries, University Of Aberdeen Study

Software being developed by the University of Aberdeen and funded by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory's (Dstl) Centre for Defence Enterprise- part of the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence - could help battlefield medics create 3-D models of soldiers brains while on location, which can then be sent to an expert for swift diagnosis.

The technology is still at an early stage of development but has already been trialed on real hospital patients to test its viability.
