Perfusion harmonic imaging of the brain is a new ultrasound technique for assessing cerebral perfusion. In a patient with acute middle cerebral artery infarction, this method detected a cerebral perfusion deficit corresponding to the area of delayed perfusion as displayed by perfusion magnetic resonance imaging.
