| description | Introduction: : Infrascanner is a portable and easy-to-use device that functions based on near infrared spectroscopy and can be utilized in prehospitalary and hospitalary environments and has risen as a promising resort for the detection of potentially lethal intracranial hemorrhages, especially in low-and-middle income countries where access to a tomographer is limited. Results: : The reviewed articles showed that the Infrascanner has a sensitivity that ranges from 68.7% to 100% and a specificity that ranges from 50.43% to 95.5% for intracranial bleedings. Conclusions: : The device has shown promising results in the detection of intracranial bleeding and has great potential for its applicability, especially in low- and middle-income countries. More studies are needed for the validation of its diagnostic accuracy and its correlation to the CT scan. |
