Laser speckle imaging (LSI) of mouse cerebral blood flow was compared through a transparent nanocrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (nc-YSZ) cranial implant over time (at days 0, 14, and 28, n = 3 mice), and vs. LSI through native skull (at day 60, n = 1 mouse). The average sharpness of imaged vessels was found to remain stable, with relative change in sharpness under 7.69% ± 1.2% over 28 days. Through-implant images of vessels at day 60 appeared sharper and smaller on average, with microvessels clearly visible, compared to through-skull images where vessels appeared blurred and distorted. These results suggest that long-term imaging through this implant is feasible.
通过透明的纳米晶氧化钇稳定氧化锆(nc-YSZ)颅骨植入物,对小鼠脑血流的激光散斑成像(LSI)随时间(第0、14和28天,n = 3只小鼠)进行了比较,并与通过天然颅骨的LSI(第60天,n = 1只小鼠)进行了比较。发现成像血管的平均清晰度保持稳定,在28天内清晰度的相对变化低于7.69%±1.2%。与通过颅骨的图像相比,第60天通过植入物的血管图像平均显得更清晰、更小,微血管清晰可见,而通过颅骨的血管图像则显得模糊和扭曲。这些结果表明,通过这种植入物进行长期成像具有可行性。
