  • Publication number: 20250017553
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods of neurovascular ultrasound analysis are disclosed for determination of a presence an allergic reaction in a subject. The methods include transmitting an ultrasound wave to an area when an ultrasound probe is positioned on to the area of a subject following exposure of the subject to a potential allergen, generating information describing a change in a circulatory system of the subject based on the Doppler information received by the probe, and detecting a food allergy based on processing the information. Non-transitory computer-readable media and apparatuses for methods of the present disclosure are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240252378
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a system and method for operating a traction device to detect blood flow patterns in a subject for managing neuropathy related conditions through intraneural facilitation (INF). According to an embodiment, the INF system and method rely on the traction device for positioning the subject in one or more positions, and a processing device for processing intervening signals obtained by a probe positioned on the subject. The signals received from the probe may be used to determine a two dimensional (2D) plane blood flow pattern. Detected changes in the measured blood flow may be used to determine if further traction device positions are required to ensure that the intervening signals demonstrate normal blood flow patterns with improvements to the neuropathy condition. The 2D flow pattern may calculate at least one of Volume Flow (VF) and Pulsatility Index (PI) for each set of signals received.
