Abstract
There is a need for real-time non-invasive, continuous monitoring of cerebral blood flow (CBF) during surgery, in intensive care units and clinical research. We investigated a new non-invasive hybrid technology employing ultrasound tagged near infrared spectroscopy (UT-NIRS) that may estimate changes in CBF using a cerebral blood flow index (CFI). Changes over time for UT-NIRS CFI and (133)Xenon single photon emission computer tomography ((133)Xe-SPECT) CBF data were assessed in 10 healthy volunteers after an intravenous bolus of acetazolamide. UT-NIRS CFI was measured continuously and SPECT CBF was measured at baseline, 15 and 60 min after acetazolamide. We found significant changes over time in CFI by UT-NIRS and CBF by SPECT after acetazolamide (P ≤ 0.001). Post hoc tests showed a significant increase in CFI (P = 0.011) and SPECT CBF (P
