Non-Invasive Ultrasonic Diagnosing and Monitoring of Intracranial Pressure/Volume

Abstract

The key objectives of the study were to verify the innovative concepts of non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) absolute value measurement and non-invasive cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA) continuous monitoring to prove the design concepts and to perform the limited clinical trials of the new prototype devices. These devices were designed and successfully tested. The technological requirements for future development of deliverable prototype devices have been defined. The first-year research accomplishment of this project was presented in our Annual Report (Project Title: Non-invasive Ultrasonic Diagnosing and Monitoring of Intracranial Pressure I Volume) covering the award performance period Oct 1 2000 - Oct 1, 2001. Our previous Annual Report will be cited in this Final Report as "Our Annual Report, 2001". The key research accomplishment of the award performance period Oct 1, 2001 - Oct 1, 2002 was a clinical study of our non-invasive prototype devices on ICU patients with traumatic brain injuries.
