Russia successfully developed diagnostic brain equipment

According to the Russian satellite network reported on February 2, it is now only possible to make a diagnosis of cerebral hematoma in hospitals or clinics. For this reason, the treatment process is expensive and magnetic resonance or CT devices must be operated by professionals. However, these diagnostic methods are dangerous for a large patient population, such as installing pacemakers, implants, and overweight patients. Scientists at Tomsk Polytechnic University in eastern Siberia have developed a convenient, relatively inexpensive instrument that can easily replace magnetic resonance and CT equipment. This is a new electro-optic diagnostic system that helps with initial inspections.

"In the event of an accident or natural disaster, CT scans cannot be performed quickly in small cities and towns. However, when brain damage is involved, such as cerebral hematoma, any delay may cause a person to pay for the health or even the cost of life." Kristina Timchenko, a research fellow at the Musk University of Technology, said.

The new device can quickly determine if there is a hematoma or not. This means that patients can receive immediate medical assistance. In addition, this new method not only provides a wealth of information, but also safety, without any adverse effects on the body. This means that the photovoltaic system is harmless to the patient.

The device works by receiving and analyzing the signals returned by the brain. The radiation source is a laser with two wavelengths of red and infrared wavelengths, which can penetrate deep into 3 cm. Because the hematoma is red, it absorbs light from the red and infrared spectrum and reflects it poorly. The reflection signal of healthy brain tissue is much stronger. After studying the return intensity of radiation, an expert can determine whether there is a hematoma in the patient's body.

“We need to address similar deficiencies in US R&D, that is, learn to accurately determine the location and size of hematomas. For this reason, we have increased the number of reflection sources and signal receivers,” said Kristina Timchenko.
