项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain's ventricular system (hydrocephalus) is a disease that often seriously damages tissues in the central nervous system and may result in death if left untreated. The estimated prevalence in children is 1 in 500, with the excess intracranial pressure significantly impairing mental development, and often causing cranial bulging if occurring in infancy. Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts have been the standard treatment since the early 1960s and have increased the survival rate and quality of life of pediatric hydrocephalus patients significantly. Despite these gains, malfunction and revision surgery are common occurrences. The rate of malfunction of VP shunts in children is estimated to be 40% in the first year after placement, and 10% per year after that. Current methods for diagnosing shunt malfunctions are often invasive, require ionizing radiation, or are expensive for the patient. The overall goal of te project is to develop a safe, cost-effective method for diagnosing shunt malfunctions using ultrasound. We propose a method for CSF flow assessment in a shunt catheter based on contrast-enhanced real-time ultrasound imaging and simultaneous motion estimation using a 2D cross correlation technique. Compared to current clinical imaging protocols, our approach is minimally invasive, cost-effective, and the examination can be performed in a doctor's office, ultimately saving the patient time and money. The objective of the current proposal is to develop and establish the feasibility of this new diagnostic imaging technique and to validate the methodology with phantom, tissue and animal studies. The immediate expected outcome of this project will be a device and associated software ready for preclinical and preliminary clinical testing.

描述（由适用提供）：在大脑心室系统（脑积水）内过度积聚脑脊液（CSF）是一种疾病，通常会严重损害中枢神经系统中的组织，如果未治疗，可能会导致死亡。儿童的估计患病率为500分之一，颅内压的过量会显着损害智力发育，并且如果在婴儿期发生，通常会导致颅骨隆起。自1960年代初以来，心室术（VP）分流器一直是标准治疗方法，并且已大大提高了小儿脑积水患者的生存率和寿命。尽管取得了这些收益，但故障和翻新手术是常见的情况。估计在安置后的第一年，儿童副总裁分流率的故障率为40％，在此之后每年为10％。当前的诊断分流器故障方法通常是侵入性的，需要电离辐射，或者对患者来说是昂贵的。 TE项目的总体目标是开发一种安全，具有成本效益的方法，用于使用超声波进行诊断分流器故障。我们提出了一种基于对比度增强的实时超声成像和使用2D互相关技术的简单运动估算的分流导管中CSF流量评估的方法。与当前的临床成像协议相比，我们的方法在最低限度上具有侵入性，具有成本效益，并且可以在医生办公室进行检查，最终节省了患者的时间和金钱。当前建议的目的是开发和确定这种新的诊断成像技术的可行性，并通过幻影，组织和动物研究来验证方法。该项目的直接预期结果将是一种准备临床前和初步临床测试的设备和相关软件。
