AbstractTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is challenging to assess even with recent advancements in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Ultrasound (US) imaging has previously been less utilized in TBI compared to conventional imaging because of limited resolution in the intracranial space. However, there have been substantial improvements in contrast-enhanced US and development of novel techniques such as intravascular US. Also, continued research provides further insight into cerebrovascular parameters from transcranial Doppler imaging. These advancements in US imaging provides the community of TBI imaging researchers and clinicians new opportunities in clinically monitoring and understanding the pathologic mechanisms of TBI.© 2018 by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine.
