Laser Technology Mobilizes Head Trauma Assessment
BIRMINGHAM, England, Dec. 14, 2023 — The decisions made about patient care in the hour following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) are critical to patient outcome. A hand-held diagnostic device to assess the severity of the injury immediately, at the point of care, could make the difference between a successful outcome or irreversible brain damage following a TBI. To enable timely intervention, researchers at the University of Birmingham are developing a portable noninvasive diagnostic to quickly measure the extent of cerebral
Photoacoustic Technology Images Brain with Laser Light
PASADENA, Calif., June 8, 2021 — Caltech professor Lihong Wang has demonstrated a technology capable of imaging the human brain with laser light and ultrasonic sound waves. The technology is known as PACT, for photoacoustic computerized tomography. First developed to image tissues...
Portable Concussion Detector Uses Infrared Light to Measure Brain Metabolism
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 4, 2020 — A new approach to detecting concussion uses a laser to deliver infrared (IR) light pulses to the brain, where the light interacts with cytochrome C oxidase (CCO), a mitochondrial enzyme important to brain metabolism. CCO is known to decrease when...
Study: NIR Light Effective in Treating Traumatic Brain Injury
DENVER, Nov. 2, 2015 — A longitudinal study has revealed near-infrared light to be an effective treatment for traumatic brain injury, a condition which brings over 2.5 million individuals to the emergency room each year. Carried out from 2011 to 2013, the study involved...
VA Researching LED Treatments to Battle Gulf War Illness
BOSTON, April 13, 2015 — Following promising findings obtained from a pilot program, researchers at the VA Boston Healthcare System are testing the effects of light therapy on brain function in veterans suffering from Gulf War Illness, also known as Gulf War Syndrome. The...
Laser-made ‘Blast Badge’ Detects Explosion Intensity
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13, 2010 — Mimicking the reflective iridescence of a butterfly’s wing, investigators at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a color-changing patch that could be worn on...
Applications: Blast Strips Record Explosion Exposure
Jan 1, 2009 — The wound most characteristic of soldiers who have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan is traumatic brain injury (TBI). Sudden attacks from weapons such as improvised explosive devices (IEDs), grenades and roadside bombs have been frequent...
