Comparative Study of Novel Noninvasive Cerebral Autoregulation Volumetric Reactivity Indices Reflected by Ultrasonic Speed and Attenuation as Dynamic Measurements in the Human Brain

This is a comparative study of two novel noninvasive cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA) monitoring methods based on intracranial blood volume (IBV) changes in the human brain.We investigated the clinical applicability of the new volumetric reactivity index (VRx2), reflected by intracranial ultrasonic attenuation dynamics for noninvasive CA monitor
