First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of detecting and assessing a brain injury and condition in a patient, comprising:
- receiving data relating to cerebral blood flow velocity of patient'"'"'s brain;
determining at least one NCI parameter wherein NCI is a chaos theory complexity parameter associated with variability of cerebral blood flow velocity of patient'"'"'s brain;
comparing the at least one complexity parameter with thresholds;
providing an output indicative of a brain injury, indicative of severity of the brain injury, or other conditions based on the comparison.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are method and system for detecting and assessing brain injuries and conditions. The medical system is capable of detecting and assessing the severity of TBI is present. The determination is performed by multiscale analysis of complexity of cerebral blood flow velocity oscillations.
