Helmet Apparatus and System with Carotid Collar Means On-Boarded

Apparatus for helmeting with carotid collars works in conjunction with a transcranial Doppler, phased array photoacoustic device to transmit a first energy to a region of interest at an internal site of a subject to produce an image and blood flow velocities of a region of interest by outputting an optical excitation energy to said region of interest and heating said region, causing a transient thermoelastic expansion and produce a wideband ultrasonic emission. Systems integrate and register the signals for use in, for example, acute stroke care.
