Development of Computed Echo Tomography—An Imaging Breakthrough Addressing the Limitations of Conventional Ultrasound: A Baseline Imaging Analysis for Traumatic Injuries
CET-based imaging eliminates bone-related artifacts thereby allowing access to critical brain and extremity imaging and removes rib shadows from thoracic and abdominal organ imaging. CET imaging deserves further investigation for field-based trauma diagnosis and general imaging in other resource-limited environments.
