摘要:

将空化与解剖结构联系起来对于聚焦超声血脑屏障开放(FUS-BBBO)的可预测结果至关重要,并且需要高分辨率空化映射。然而,用于规划和监测治疗过程的空化映射技术要么1)未能充分利用超声成像的全部分辨率能力,要么2)对治疗脉冲的长度施加了严格限制。本研究旨在开发一种能够在空化图中分辨血管解剖结构的高分辨率技术。在此,我们开发了BP-ETACI,该技术源自带通采样和12.5 MHz的双频对比成像,可在C57BL/6小鼠脑内使用1.5 MHz聚焦换能器,在长治疗突发脉冲之前和血脑屏障开放过程中生成空化图。研究发现,BP-ETACI空化图与超声定位显微血管图和 histological 切片中的血管解剖结构相关。由非血脑屏障破坏剂量产生的空化图显示出与整个血脑屏障开放过程中生成的图相同的承载空化的血管系统,因此可用于1)监测FUS-BBBO,也可用于2)治疗规划和靶点验证。BP-ETACI具有通用性,在小鼠脑中生成了高分辨率空化图,并且易于转化到现有的FUS-BBBO实验中。因此,它为进一步研究FUS-BBBO中的空化现象提供了一种手段。

英文摘要:

Linking cavitation and anatomy was found to be important for predictable outcomes in Focused-Ultrasound Blood-Brain-Barrier-Opening and requires high resolution cavitation mapping. However, cavitation mapping techniques for planning and monitoring of therapeutic procedures either 1) do not leverage the full resolution capabilities of ultrasound imaging or 2) place strong constraints on the length of the therapeutic pulse. This study aimed to develop a high-resolution technique that could resolve vascular anatomy in the cavitation map. Herein, we develop BP-ETACI, derived from bandpass sampling and dual-frequency contrast imaging at 12.5 MHz to produce cavitation maps prior and during blood-brain barrier opening with long therapeutic bursts using a 1.5-MHz focused transducer in the brain of C57BL/6 mice. The BP-ETACI cavitation maps were found to correlate with the vascular anatomy in ultrasound localization microscopy vascular maps and in histological sections. Cavitation maps produced from non-blood-brain-barrier disrupting doses showed the same cavitation-bearing vasculature as maps produced over entire blood-brain-barrier opening procedures, allowing use for 1) monitoring FUS-BBBO, but also for 2) therapy planning and target verification. BP-ETACI is versatile, created high resolution cavitation maps in the mouse brain and is easily translatable to existing FUS-BBBO experiments. As such, it provides a means to further study cavitation phenomena in FUS-BBBO.
