Circulatory shock is a leading global cause of death and disability in children. Shock is defined as a life-threatening condition where cardiovascular system failure causes inadequate delivery of ...

Cerebral blood flow is essential for normal brain function and often perturbed in neurological disease. If one shines a source of coherent light on ...

Monitoring the flow of blood to the brain can reveal much about how it works. An increase in blood flow usually accompanies neuronal activity, whereas a decrease in the flow can be indicative of ...

Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is used for noninvasive detection of blood flow. However, current DCS devices need to be improved to increase the signal-to-noise ratio for more accurate ...

Diffuse optical techniques have proven to be valuable methods for non-invasively observing blood flow in living subjects. A number of modalities have been developed, with diffuse correlation ...

A survey of optical imaging and spectroscopy for the study of the human brain has reported that the field is currently "only at the beginning of this optical revolution." Published in SPIE ...
