Advanced high resolution three-dimensional imaging to visualize the cerebral neurovascular network in stroke

Abstract

As an important method to accurately and timely diagnose stroke and study physiological characteristics and pathological mechanism in it, imaging technology has gone through more than a century of iteration. The interaction of cells densely packed in the brain is three-dimensional (3D), but the flat images brought by traditional visualization methods show only a few cells and ignore connections outside the slices. The increased resolution allows for a more microscopic and underlying view. Today's intuitive 3D imagings of micron or even nanometer scale are showing its essentiality in stroke. In recent years, 3D imaging technology has gained rapid development. With the overhaul of imaging mediums and the innovation of imaging mode, the resolution has been significantly improved, endowing researchers with the capability of holistic observation of a large volume, real-time monitoring of tiny voxels, and quantitative measurement of spatial parameters. In this review, we will summarize the current methods of high-resolution 3D imaging applied in stroke.

Exploring the Frontiers of Neuroimaging: A Review of Recent Advances in Understanding Brain Functioning and Disorders

“…Recent advances in neuroimaging techniques have enabled researchers to investigate the brain's structure and function with greater precision and detail. Here are some recent advances in neuroimaging techniques and their impact on neuroscience research: Highresolution structural MRI: MRI technology has enabled researchers to obtain high-resolution images of the brain's structure, including the cortex's sub-millimeter structures [20]. This has allowed for more accurate brain mapping and identifying previously unknown brain regions.…”

Microneedles for in situ tissue regeneration

“…Stroke is an ischemic or hemorrhagic disease mainly occurring in the microvascular system of the brain, resulting in cerebrovascular damage and irreversible damage to neurological function. And stroke is one of the major causes of death and severe disability worldwide [ 179 , 180 ]. Intravenous thrombolysis to restore blood flow to the ischemic site is the main treatment for ischemic stroke.…”
