Non-Invasive Measurement of Intracranial Pressure? Accurate, Finds Johns Hopkins University Team
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is commonly monitored for the management of patients with serious brain injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, or obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid flow. However, established methods for measuring it are highly invasive and resource-intensive. An interdisciplinary team from Johns Hopkins University in the USA has recently developed a method that could potentially use artificial intelligence (AI) to determine ICP values non-invasively. The results of their work were published in the journal Computers in…
