Alteration in regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) is the direct result of changes in neuronal activity. It is crucial to monitor the spatio-temporal characteristics of cerebro-vascular blood perfusion in the studies of cerebral diseases. Optical micro-angiography (OMAG) is a recently developed imaging technique capable of resolving 3D distribution of dynamic blood perfusion at a capillary level resolution within microcirculatory beds in vivo. The authors report the applications of OMAG in mouse ischemic stroke model. The study demonstrates that OMAG is a useful method capable of providing in vivo serial assessment of 3D cerebro-vascular pathophysiology with high sensitivity, and therefore, has the potential for use in the study of brain disorders and repairs.
区域性脑血流(CBF)的改变是神经元活动变化的直接结果。在研究脑部疾病时,监测脑血管灌注的时空特征至关重要。光学微血管造影(OMAG)是一种最近开发的成像技术,能够以毛细血管水平的分辨率解析活体微循环床内动态血流灌注的 3D 分布。作者报告了 OMAG 在小鼠缺血性中风模型中的应用。该研究表明,OMAG 是一种有用的方法,能够提供高灵敏度的体内 3D 脑血管病理生理学的连续评估,因此具有用于研究脑部疾病和修复的潜力。
