| Research Abstract |
Laser speckle flowmetry, a novel non-invasive live imaging system of regional cerebral blood flow, enabled us to visualize the propagation of peri-infarct depolarization (PID) in penumbra that has not been detected with conventional imaging systems as MRI and PET. This method revealed that PID propagates not only from core to periphery in radial fashion but also along the ischemic lesion circumferentially.
