Advantages of the Butterfly Ultrasound Probe

The Butterfly In Situ Microscopy, also known as the Butterfly MRI, is used to obtain a non-invasive image of the brain’s tissue without requiring insertion through the neck or into a cavity. This type of non-invasive testing has many benefits and is especially helpful for evaluating brain functioning in pediatric, neurological and cerebrovascular patients who are beyond the range of standard procedures. A very sensitive and versatile ultrasound probe, the Butterfly In Situ Microscopy is able to generate high frequency sound waves that generate high resolution images of the brain’s surface and internal structures. Compared to other common imaging modalities, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning, the Butterfly In Situ Microscopy has a wider imaging field and better imaging resolution.

The butterfly ultrasound probe has many uses in medical and rehabilitation settings, especially in assessing and monitoring the functions of the brain in response to traumatic or degenerative brain injuries and diseases, such as stroke or cerebral palsy. It is also used to study the brain in motion during sleep. The unique properties of the ultrasound frequency and wavelength generate a unique combination of optical and mechanical properties that allow it to create images from very close proximity. It is also used to evaluate the motor functions of patients with severe neurological disorders. This technology can be used to monitor co-morbid conditions such as seizures, muscle tone, temperature and blood flow.

The advantages of this innovative machine learning method include the ability to generate detailed images of the soft tissue structures, including brain structures and heart rhythm. The two-dimensional digital images can be analyzed by computer, and a detailed 3-dimensional reconstruction can be generated of the patient’s total anatomy, including head and neck structures. Through the application of advanced software, cardiac images, cardiac physiology and coronary heart disease can be evaluated simultaneously.
