Intraoperative imaging of the brain macro- and microcirculation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Advances in imaging technology have provided new diagnostic methods for assessment of cerebral vascular perfusion and quantitative analysis of the microcirculation during cerebral surgery. In this article, a range of imaging procedures are described: Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) and Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography Angiography (3D-CTA), Indocyanine Green Video Angiography (ICGVA), Orthogonal Polarization Spectral (OPS) Imaging, Sidestream Dark-Field (SDF) Imaging, and Laser-Doppler Flowmetry (LDF). All these measurements will foster development of precise evaluation tools for microcirculation-related microvascular conditions, e. g. stroke and hemorrhage, and support clinicians in their therapeutic decision-making process.

The Intraoperative MRI is of great importance in the surgical removal of gliomas or cranial base tumors. However, the sole use of a intraoperative MRI is problematic, so that a dual system has been developed to optimize the utilization of the equipment, which can be used both for neurosurgical patients and for outpatient or stationary Patients. Within the framework of the new head Center at the...

متن کاملOptical Monitoring of Cerebral Microcirculation
The cerebral microcirculation consists of a complex network of small blood vessels that support nerve cells with oxygen and nutrition. The blood flow and oxygen delivery in the microcirculatory blood vessels are regulated through mechanisms which may be influenced or impaired by disease or brain damage resulting from conditions such as brain tumors, traumatic brain injury or subarachnoid hemorr...
