Background The middle cerebral artery occlusion model (MCAo) is a commonly used animal
model for cerebral ischemia studies but lacks accessible imaging techniques for the …

Objective To evaluate the changes of cerebral blood flow (CBF) with real-time contrast-
enhanced ultrasound (CEU) in a canine model of acute cerebral ischemia. Methods …

In monitoring of recanalization and in sonothrombolysis, contrast-enhanced ultrasound
(CEUS) is applied in extended time protocols. As extended use may increase the probability …

Ischemic stroke is typically characterized by the disruption of cerebral blood flow. This study
aimed to consecutively evaluate the cerebral blood flow changes in a focal ischemia rat …

Background Ischemic stroke represents a significant global health concern, necessitating
thorough investigations and the utilization of stroke animal models to explore novel …

Following middle cerebral artery occlusion, tissue outcome ranges from normal to infarcted
depending on depth and duration of hypoperfusion as well as occurrence and efficiency of …

Direct and real-time assessment of cerebral hemodynamics is key to improving our
understanding of cerebral blood flow regulation in health and disease states such as stroke …

Background No data is available for brain low mechanical index (low-MI) contrast-enhanced
ultrasound (CEUS). This study aimed to assess low-MI CEUS for cerebral ischemia in rats …

Background and Purpose—The purpose of this study was to assess brain perfusion with an
ultrasound contrast-specific imaging mode and to prove if the results are comparable …

Tomographic perfusion imaging techniques are integral to translational stroke research
paradigms that advance our understanding of the disease. Functional ultrasound (fUS) is an …
