Abstract
Systems and methods for non-invasively measuring intracranial in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for estimating an intracranial pressure of a patient, including introducing a tracer into the blood of a patient, recording, using an imaging device, the traversal of the tracer through a brain of the patient as a kinetic curve, estimating a mean transit time (MTT) of the tracer through the brain of the patient based on the kinetic curve, measuring a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the patient, calculating an intracranial pressure index as MAP−Ck/MTT, where C is a constant to scale proportional relationships based on healthy patient population characteristics, and k is a constant in pressure/time, and providing the intracranial pressure index. In various embodiments, regions of the brain unaffected by transient vascular abnormalities are identified and are used for data collection.
