Traumatic Brain Injury Imaging in the Second Near‐Infrared Window with a Molecular Fluorophore. Issue 32 (2nd June 2016) - Zhang, Xiao‐Dong
Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. A bright, renal‐excreted, and biocompatible near‐infrared II fluorophore for in vivo imaging of TBI is designed. A transient hypoperfusion in the injured cerebral region, followed by fluorophore leakage, is observed. NIR‐II fluorophores can provide noninvasive assessment of TBI.
