Research

The Cerebrovascular Laboratory is actively engaged in research to determine mechanisms of cerebral autoregulation and characterization of the autoregulatory response under normal and abnormal conditions. Other research interests include:

• Ultrasonic measurement of volume flow in the carotid arteries
  
• Feasibility of obtaining intracranial pressure measurements noninvasively
• Long term follow-up of patients following balloon angioplasty for vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage
  
• Clinical significance of cerebral microemboli
  
• Usefulness of flow velocity information in head-injured patients
  
• Cerebral flow dynamics during arteriovenous malformation resection

Resources

As an academic institution, our goal of disseminating information is accomplished through publishing journal articles, books and instructional videotapes. Please call us if you would like us to mail or fax a comprehensive list of publications authored by staff.
