Quantification of blood-brain barrier permeability by dynamic contrast-enhanced NIRS

Abstract The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is integral to maintaining a suitable microenvironment for neurons to function properly. Despite its importance, there are no bedside methods of assessing BBB disruption to help guide management of critical-care patients. The aim of this study was to demonstrat...

Both dyes showed a strong correlation between measured PS values and sonication power (R2 = 0.95 and 0.92 for ICG and IRDye respectively), and the PS values for IRDye were in good agreement with CT values obtained with a contrast agent of similar molecular weight.
