Quantitative imaging of brain function is crucial in developing a better understanding of how the brain works under both normal and pathophysiologic conditions such as migraine headache and stroke. This talk will describe recent advances in the development of high resolution in vivo optical imaging techniques, such as laser speckle contrast imaging of cerebral blood flow, and their application to brain function. Examples include real time visualization of blood flow during neurosurgery, monitoring of clot formation in animal models of stroke, and chronic tracking of blood flow changes to assess recovery from brain injury. In addition, laser speckle imaging has been combined with other imaging methods such as phosphorescence quenching to enable simultaneous imaging of both blood flow and oxygenation levels.
