Cranial ultrasonography is most often used in infants to diagnose problems with the brain
The Olfactory nerve. CN1 Cranial Nerve I, or the first cranial nerve called the Olfactory nerve.
The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve, also known as cranial nerve X.
Anterior cranial fossa which accommodates the anterior lobe of brain.Middle cranial fossa, much wider than the anterior cranial fossa contain the 2 temporal lobes of brain.Posterior cranial fossa is much shallower and wider than the middle cranial fossa and it accommodates the occipital lobes of the brain.
Most of the cranial nerves originate from the brainstem.
The cranial nerves exit from the brainstem. They emerge from specific openings in the skull called foramina, which are small bony passageways. These openings provide a pathway for the cranial nerves to exit the skull and innervate different parts of the head and neck.
Cranial ultrasonography is also performed on adults during brain surgery to help identify the location of brain tumors
Sonogram
Carotid Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography is also called sonography, diagnostic sonography, and echocardiography when it is used to image the heart
Ultrasonography procedures are safe, noninvasive, and painless. No special precautions are necessary.
Doppler ultrasonography uses what is called the Doppler effect to measure the rate and direction of blood flow in the vessels.

The brain lies within the cranial cavity which is inside the larger dorsal cavity
Because ultrasonography uses high frequency sound waves, and not x rays or other forms of radiation , there are very few risks associated with its use
Cranial Nerves 1-2 Cranial Nerves 3-4 belong to the midbrain. Cranial Nerves 5-8 belong to the pons. Cranial Nerves 9-12 belong to the hindbrain.
