Analysis of Cerebral Blood Flow from Small Rodents

چکیده
The exact knowledge of the blood vessel geometry plays an important role, not only in clinical applications (stroke diagnosis, detection of stenosis), but also for detailed analysis of functional data, such as fMRI or optical imaging data. Here we focus on validating not only the geometry of the extracted vascular pattern, but also its function, namely the fluid dynamics. For validating angiographic data, phase contrast angiography (PC-MRA) sequences are used, as these data contain additionally to the morphological data rheological information. This rheological information can be used to validate the reconstructed geometric model of the vascular system, especially for the detection of missing vessels due to velocity changes in front of bifurcations.

PERFORMANCE MODEL AND ANALYSIS OF BLOOD FLOW IN SMALL VESSELS WITH MAGNETIC EFFECTS
In this paper consider a two-fluid model consisting of a core region of suspension of all the erythrocytes (particles) in plasma (fluid) assumed to be a particle-fluid mixture and a peripheral layer of cell-free plasma (Newtonian fluid), has been proposed to represent blood flow in small diameter tubes with effects of magnetic. The analytical results obtained in the proposed model for effective...
متن کاملRole of Nitric Oxide and ATP-Sensitive K+ Channels in Regulation of Basal Blood Flow and Hypercapnic Vasodilatation of Cerebral Blood Vessels in Rabbit
Background: The mechanisms underlying cerebral hypercapnic vasodilatation are not fully understood. Objective: To investigate the role of nitric oxide (NO) and ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in basal blood flow regulation and hypercapnia-induced vasodilatation in rabbit cerebral blood vessels. Methods: The change in cerebral blood flow was measured by a laser Doppler flowmeter in 18 Ne...

متن کاملThe Effect of Hurdling Performance on The Adaptive Profile of Cerebral Blood Flow in Vestibular Irritation
Background: The reactions of the whole organism that occur under the action of accelerations of rectilinear and rotational motion are factors that have a systemic effect on the cerebral blood flow. The use of hurdling performance in the structure of human physical activity can have a significant impact on the tone of the brain vessels, their elasticity and venous outflow in the development of f...
متن کاملDifference in blood volume distribution between upright humans and standing quadrupeds.
TO THE EDITOR: After two decades of animal studies on vascular adaptation to microgravity using the rat analog (for review, see Ref. 3), it is gratifying to note the recently published findings on space-flown mice by Sofronova and coworkers (1). They demonstrate that both vasoconstrictor and vasodilator properties are attenuated in basilar arteries (BA) isolated from the mice flown 30 days on a...
متن کاملTwo-photon microscopy as a tool to study blood flow and neurovascular coupling in the rodent brain.
The cerebral vascular system services the constant demand for energy during neuronal activity in the brain. Attempts to delineate the logic of neurovascular coupling have been greatly aided by the advent of two-photon laser scanning microscopy to image both blood flow and the activity of individual cells below the surface of the brain. Here we provide a technical guide to imaging cerebral blood...
