Optical imaging to map blood-brain barrier leakage
Vascular leakage in the brain is a major complication associated with brain injuries and certain pathological conditions due to disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We have developed an optical imaging method, based on excitation and emission spectra of Evans Blue dye, that is >1000-fold more sensitive than conventional ultraviolet spectrophotometry. We used a rat thromboembolic stroke ...
متن کاملBlood-Brain Barrier Leakage in Patients with Early Alzheimer Disease.
Purpose To investigate whether the blood-brain barrier (BBB) leaks blood-circulating substances in patients with early forms of Alzheimer disease (AD), and if so, to examine the extent and pattern of leakage. Materials and Methods This study was approved by the local medical ethical committees of the Maastricht University Medical Center and Leiden University Medical Center, and written informed...
متن کاملQuantification of cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, and blood-brain-barrier leakage with DCE-MRI.
Dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) is the current standard for the measurement of Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) and Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV), but it is not suitable for the measurement of Extraction Flow (EF) and may not allow for absolute quantification. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a methodology to measure CBF, CBV, and EF from T1-weighted dynamic contrast...
متن کاملMeasuring cerebral blood flow and blood-brain-barrier leakage with DCE-MRI at 3T
INTRODUCTION Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) measurements with bolus-tracking MRI are typically performed using Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast (DSC-MRI) [1]. The method has the advantage of strong signal changes when the blood volume is small., but Arterial Input Function (AIF) selection is problematic and the difference in T2* relaxivity between blood and tissue causes serious overestimations in CB...
متن کاملVEGF enhances angiogenesis and promotes blood-brain barrier leakage in the ischemic brain.
VEGF is a secreted mitogen associated with angiogenesis and is also a potent vascular permeability factor. The biological role of VEGF in the ischemic brain remains unknown. This study was undertaken to investigate whether VEGF enhances cerebral microvascular perfusion and increases blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage in the ischemic brain. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), three-dimensiona...
