The two inventions by Arminas Ragauskas and his colleagues at the Health Telematics Science Center at Kaunas University of Technology offer a safe and accurate method to non-invasively measure intra-cranial pressure and brain blood flow autoregulation, respectively, employing ultrasound waves instead of costly and potentially dangerous invasive surgery and implantation of invasive sensors into the brain. If left unchecked, the pressure can increase to dangerously high levels due to complications such as traumatic brain injury, stroke or brain tumors.
