Three dimensional optical imaging of blood volume and oxygenation in the neonatal brain

Abstract: Optical methods provide a means of monitoring cerebral oxygenation in newborn infants at risk of brain injury. A 32-channel optical imaging system has been developed with the aim of reconstructing three-dimensional images of regional blood volume and oxygenation. Full image data sets were acquired from 14 out of 24 infants studied; successful images have been reconstructed in 8 of these infants. Regional variations in cerebral blood volume and tissue oxygen saturation are present in healthy preterm infants. In… Show more

“…Although beyond the scope of this study, other reasons for differences between rScO 2 values measured in extremely preterm infants can be manifold. Besides differences in the techniques as stated above, differences in postmenstrual and postnatal age (25)(26)(27)(28) or differences induced by the different locations of the brain under investigation (29) may contribute to differences in rScO 2 . It will be worthwhile and clinically very important to further investigate these issues in relation to cerebral oxygen saturation.…”

“…It is worth mentioning that European research groups located in academic or public research centers have designed and built most of the existing TD fNIRS systems effectively employed in the clinics. In particular the most active in the field are the research groups at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Berlin, Germany [9][10][11][12][13][14][15], at the Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, Warsaw, Poland [16][17][18], and at the the Department of Medical Physics and Bioengineering, University College London [19][20][21][22][23]. In the US we can mention the group at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Athinoula A. Martinos Center, Charlestown, Massachusetts [6,[24][25][26].…”

“…DOT is capable of measuring the intrinsic absorption and scattering in diffuse media using Near Infrared (NIR) light (wavelengths between 650 and 1000 nm), which are then used to derive spatially resolved maps of tissue chromophore concentrations such as oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin. DOT has been applied to monitor tissue metabolic state [2], breast cancer diagnosis [3], imaging functional activity in the human brain [4][5][6] and neonatal brain monitoring [7][8][9]. While most hemodynamic-based neuroimaging research studies in adult subjects are typically performed using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), its relative high cost, fixed scanner locations and physical constraints during imaging, limit fMRI's translation as a bedside clinical tool [10].…”
