Transcranial Ultrasonography Using Linear 2D Imaging of the Brain

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Autism, Extra-axial Fluid

In brief

This study will use linear 2D ultrasound imaging to look at the brain of individuals diagnosed with autism and their siblings. This is called transcranial ultrasound (TUS). It is hypothesized that TUS will allow real-time imaging of the fluid spaces outside the brain and will further allow the imagining of brain areas important to language and social function.
