The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of the 3D Transcranial Ultrasound Brain Imaging (3D TRUBI) device in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). The secondary objective is to assess the diagnostic potential of 3D TRUBI. The latter will be achieved by comparison of 3D TRUBI scans with admission head computed tomography (CT), the standard of care diagnostic modality. Demonstrating the feasibility and safety of the 3D TRUBI system is the first step toward expanding access of an alternative to CT for diagnostic imaging and triage of mass casualties of war or natural disasters in the field and in rapidly deployed medical centers or other austere environments.

Feasibility of Intracranial Hemorrhage Detection
The primary outcome is the assessment of the feasibility of 3D-TRUBI for the detection of ICH and other traumatic brain lesions as compared to admission head CT. This is a binary parameter for each type of lesion per patient.
From enrollment to the end of data analysis (18 months)
Evaluation of potential adverse effects
Participants will be evaluated for any potential adverse reactions to performance of the TRUBI exam during and after the research procedure. Twenty-four and 48-hour examination of the head are also planned to record potential adverse reactions.
up to 48 hours after enrollment
Intracranial hemorrhage categories may include subdural hematomas, subarachnoid hemorrhages, or intraparenchymal hemorrhages.
Epidural hematoma group will be additionally tested to explore feasibility of scanning to this higher-acuity injury type
The system implements a proprietary transcranial imaging methodology, which measures the profile of the skull bone and the speed of sound in it to accurately focus the ultrasound energy from a phased array probe through the bone in order to detect hematoma boundaries with resolution normally obtainable only through the open skull.
