The number of patients admitted annually to hospitals and clinics after experiencing traumatic brain injury (TBI) is about 2 million in the U.S. and 10 million globally. CT, MRI and other standard imaging techniques provide non-invasive snapshots of cerebral conditions, and other brain probes, like intracranial pressure monitors, are invasive so are only used in the most serious cases. Most patients are left largely unmonitored, except for periodic subjective clinical neurological exams.

These exams are helpful but can only detect bleeding or edema when it has progressed to the point where it has caused a significant brain insult, resulting in a detectable neurological deficit. The monitors analyzed in this report have the capability to measure key brain parameters that serve as diagnostic indicators of progressive brain injury noninvasively, and hold the promise of ushering in a new paradigm in neurology care.
