Cerebral blood flow velocity is one of the most essential parameters related to brain functions and diseases. However, most existing mapping methods suffer from either inaccuracy or lengthy sampling time. In this study, we propose a particle-size-related calibration method to improve the measurement accuracy and a random-access strategy to suppress the sampling time. Based on the proposed methods, we study the long-term progress of cortical vasculopathy and abnormal blood flow caused by glioma, short-term variations of blood flow velocity under different anesthetic depths, and cortex-wide connectivity of the rapid fluctuation of blood flow velocities during seizure onset. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed calibration method and the random-access strategy can improve both the qualitative and quantitative performance of velocimetry techniques and are also beneficial for understanding brain functions and diseases from the perspective of cerebral blood flow.
脑血流速度是与脑功能和疾病相关的最重要参数之一。然而,大多数现有的映射方法要么不准确,要么采样时间长。在本研究中,我们提出了一种与颗粒大小相关的校准方法来提高测量精度,并提出了一种随机访问策略来抑制采样时间。基于所提出的方法,我们研究了皮质血管病变和胶质瘤引起的异常血流的长期进展、不同麻醉深度下血流速度的短期变化以及癫痫发作开始时血流速度快速波动的全脑连接性。实验结果表明,所提出的校准方法和随机访问策略可以提高测速技术的定性和定量性能,也有助于从脑血流的角度理解脑功能和疾病。
