It is important for near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and imaging to estimate the sensitivity of
the detected signal to the change in hemoglobin that results from brain activation and the …

Extensive research in the area of optical sensing for medical diagnostics requires
development of tissue phantoms with optical properties similar to those of living human …

The aim of the study was to assess cardiac and respiratory blood pressure (BP) and
subarachnoid space (SAS) width oscillations during the resting state for slow and fast …

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the effect of acute bilateral jugular vein
compression on:(1) pial artery pulsation (cc-TQ);(2) cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV);(3) …

In the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, two components can be distinguished: bulk flow
(circulation) and pulsatile flow (back and forth motion). CSF pulsatile flow is generated by …

Abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsatility has been implicated in patients suffering from
various diseases, including multiple sclerosis and hypertension. CSF pulsatility results in …

Purpose The purpose of the study was to:(1) evaluate the subarachnoid space (SAS) width
and pial artery pulsation in both hemispheres, and (2) directly compare magnetic resonance …

This paper presents technical foundations for a new technique of near-infrared
transillumination-backscattering sounding, which is designed to enable noninvasive …

Near-infrared spectroscopy has found many applications, which are described in part in
other chapters of this book. For chemical quality and process control, nearinfrared …

The precise mechanisms connecting the cardiovascular system and the cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) are not well understood in detail. This paper investigates the couplings between the …
