ABSTRACT
The primary objective of the research is the development of a lightweight and cost-effective headband-style tomographic apparatus capable of non-invasively capturing real-time internal cerebral images. A prototype of an ultrasonic tomograph was engineered, comprising a lightweight cranial band synergized with ultrasonic transducers and the tomographic system. Ultrasonic measurements were transmuted into visualizations via a heterogeneous convolutional neural network (CNN). The Ultrasonic Computed Tomography (USCT) architecture was conceived to facilitate untethered data interchange between the head-worn sensor array and the tomographic machinery.
