Project Summary Brain temperature regulation is crucial for neurologic function and recovery after ischemia and injury. Local brain temperature increases as small as 1-2°C significantly contribute to the extent of ischemia-induced brain damage, and dissociation of brain and body temperatures is a strong predictor of poor prognosis. While brain temperature is well-recognized as an important clinical parameter for neuroprotection, current brain thermometry has been limited to invasive temperature probes surgically implanted at a single location, making it impractical in most patient cohorts. Several magnetic resonance (MR)-based thermometry methods have been proposed and demonstrated in…
