Abstract
Clinical use of A- and B-mode echoencephalography in neurology, neurosurgery, and pediatrics is discussed, and some results are presented. Descriptions are given of several techniques to obtain two-dimensional echoencephalographic pictures. Two-dimensional echoencephalography can be particularly helpful with hydrocephalic babies. Recording techniques for pulsatile echoencephalography and the factors influencing the shape of cerebral echo pulsations are considered. Also, the diagnostic value of pulsatile echoencephalography in several brain diseases is discussed.
