脑监测与成像

我们在神经ICU使用的先进成像工具包括:

计算机断层扫描(CT): A brain CT scan uses specialized X-rays and computers to view brain tissue and structures.

磁共振成像(MRI): An MRI of the brain uses magnets and radio waves to view brain tissues and structures.

正电子发射断层扫描(PET): A brain PET scan uses a special dye called a radiotracer to show brain tissue and activity. 它可能与CT扫描或MRI相结合.

神经ICU的脑监测包括:

:脑微量透析可把时程延长 一个瘦, hollow tube (catheter) connects the brain to a bedside monitor that assesses certain brain chemicals.

脑电图(EEG): Small, metal discs called electrodes are attached to the scalp to measure electrical activity in the brain. 连续脑电图(cEEG)检测无声发作. 皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康 neurocritical care specialists pioneered this monitoring technique in the neuro ICU.

深度脑电图:  Electrodes are surgically attached to the brain to measure brain wave activity.

诱发电位: Electrodes are attached to the scalp to measure how quickly and accurately nerve signals reach the brain. 

颅内压监测: A device is surgically placed underneath the skull to measure pressure inside the skull.

经颅多普勒超声: This test uses soundwaves to evaluate how blood flows through the brain (cerebral blood flow).

我们提供的治疗

神经危重症治疗包括:

临床试验药物治疗: Our specialists continually study the newest treatment options for brain injuries. Eligible patients may take new medicines through participating in clinical trials.

术中立体定向ct引导下的内镜手术: Surgeons deliver a clot-busting medicine to the brain through a catheter to stop a brain hemorrhage.

立体定向放射治疗: 立体定向放射外科使用聚焦, highly concentrated beams of radiation to shrink or destroy tumors or treat other problems such as a brain hemorrhage.

低温治疗: We may intentionally reduce a patient’s core body temperature to lower intracranial pressure and reduce the risk of brain damage and other neurological complications.
