Toward Whole-Brain Minimally-Invasive Vascular Imaging
Imaging the brain vasculature can be critical for cerebral perfusion monitoring in the context of neurocritical care. Although ultrasensitive Doppler (UD) can provide good sensitivity to cerebral blood volume (CBV) in a large field of view, it remains difficult to perform through the skull. In this work, we investigate how a minimally invasive burr hole, performed for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, could be used to map the entire brain vascular tree. We explored the use of a small motorized phased array probe with a non-implantable preclinical prototype in pigs. The scan duration (18 min) and coverage (62 $\pm$ 12 % of the brain) obtained allowed global CBV variations detection (relative in brain Dopplerdecrease =-3[-4-+16]% \& Dopplerincrease. = +1[-3-+15]%, n = 6 \& 5) and stroke detection (relative in core Dopplerstroke. =-25%, n = 1). This technology could one day be miniaturized to be implanted for brain perfusion monitoring in neurocritical care.
