Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we propose a pipeline for non-invasive, high-resolution analysis of cerebral blood flow. We use a 3-CMOS HD-Videocamera to record video samples that are processed by a stabilization and colour amplification pipeline to visualize changes caused by the blood pressure cycle. To our knowledge, this is the first description of a non-invasive, only software-based algorithm which comprises information about brain perfusion.
