Figure 1.

Schematic representation of insonation plane in transtemporal ultrasound imaging (a), adapted from [13] (with permission of copyright owner) with a corresponding “bilateral” B-mode image (b) with explanatory anatomical landmarks: white arrows = frontal horns of side ventricles; * = midline, third ventricle; red arrows = contralateral skull. Infarcted areas cannot be displayed in B-mode ultrasound. For orientation, comparison to conventional cerebral computed tomography scan, CCT, (c) with plane shifted by 90° accordingly, with an infarction in the hemisphere “contralateral” to the probe.
