Currently, a reliable method for real-time prediction of ischemia in the human brain is not available. Here, we took a first step towards validating non-invasive intraoperative laser speckle imaging (iLSI) for prediction of infarction in 22 patients undergoing decompressive surgery for treatment of malignant hemispheric stroke. During surgery, cortical perfusion was visualized and recorded in real-time with iLSI. The true morphological infarct extension within the iLSI imaging field was superimp ...[more]
