Technical Assessment of Ultrasonic Cerebral Tomosphygmography and New Scientific Evaluation of Its Clinical Interest for the Diagnosis of Electrohypersensitivity and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity

Abstract

Overview

Ultrasonic cerebral tomosphygmography (UCTS), also referred to as "encephaloscan", represents an advanced ultrasound-based pulsatile echoencephalography technique. It offers both functional and anatomical brain imaging capabilities.

Technical Advantages

UCTS specifically measures and pinpoints natural brain tissue pulsations in the temporal lobes, setting it apart from other forms such as transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TDU). Unlike TDU, which analyses blood flow velocity using the Doppler effect, UCTS focuses on these pulsations without the influence of blood flow dynamics.

Findings

• Recent validation of UCTS has opened avenues for the objective diagnosis of Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).
• The technique provides a significant clinical tool as opposed to classical imaging methods like CT scans or MRIs, which are less effective and less tolerated by patients suffering from EHS and MCS.

Conclusion

This study supports the use of UCTS as a superior imaging technique for diagnosing EHS and MCS and for monitoring the therapeutic progress of affected patients. Despite its halted industrial development in locations such as France due to financial constraints, its clinical potential remains high.
