Claim 10:
11. A method of analyzing images using a transcranial sensing device to identify a neurologic-injury-mechanism, the method comprising:
identifying five images of injury mechanism waveforms that illustrate a repeating pattern of at least one of a peak systolic velocity value, an end-diastolic velocity value, and a diachrotic notch value associated with a specific injury mechanism, wherein the one or more images of injury mechanism waveforms correlate to an age and size of a patient;
matching each of the five images of injury mechanism waveforms, utilizing the processor, to a first injury mechanism comprising sequestration, a second injury mechanism comprising venous obstruction, a third injury mechanism comprising vasospasm, a fourth injury mechanism comprising hyperemia, and a fifth injury mechanism comprising low blood flow, respectively;
generating a patient image comprising a repeating pattern of a cranial scan of the patient that is indicative of blood flow patterns including at least one of a peak systolic velocity value, an end-diastolic velocity value, and a diachrotic notch value to the five images of injury mechanism waveforms;
comparing the patient image to the five images of injury mechanism waveforms; and
utilizing the processor of the transcranial sensing device to identify the neurologic-injury-mechanism of the patient as one of the injury mechanism based upon pattern matching having a closest similarity to one of the five images of injury mechanism waveforms based upon the matched neurologic injury mechanism.
