This is the first report of success in numerically quantifying and visualizing cardiac cycle-related intracranial vessel motion and pulse waves in human subjects by using 320-detector CTA and a newly developed motion-detection algorithm to better understand the physiologies of intracranial arteries. This new technique promises to provide significant novel information for analyzing the elasticity of cerebral vessels and should be incorporated in the analysis of vessel fluid dynamics.
这是第一篇通过使用 320 层 CT 血管造影和新开发的运动检测算法成功对人体心脏周期相关颅内血管运动和脉搏波进行数值量化和可视化的报告,旨在更好地了解颅内动脉的生理学。这项新技术有望为分析脑血管弹性提供重要的新信息,应该纳入血管流体动力学分析中。
