CrainScan

Hand-held medical device for detecting cerebral hemorrhages.

The functional principle of optical detection of cerebral hemorrhages is based on the relatively good translucence of skin, bones and brain in the near infrared spectral region. For successful treatment of brain injuries (cerebral hemorrhages or tumescence = edemas) it is of absolutely decisive importance to start with the right treatment as soon as possible. Here, the mobility of the small hand-held diagnostics device is a lifesaving advantage, since it can be used directly at the site of the emergency.
