Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The daily practice of neurocritical care focuses on the monitoring and treatment of children and adults suffering from a wide range of neurological disorders. A variety of techniques are continuously being developed to further improve the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of patients with acute head and spinal injuries, subarachnoid and intracranial hemorrhages, cerebral vascular abnormalities, tumours, intracranial pressure issues, infectious diseases, patients in comatose states, etc. Timely diagnosis, efficient intervention, and accurate monitoring of the condition are crucial to patient outcome. In this Special Issue, we would like to invite all contributions that demonstrate an improvement in cerebrovascular health monitoring or in the treatment of major brain injuries or neurological disorders.
Topics include (but are not limited to) the following areas: cerebrovascular health monitoring using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) neuroimaging techniques, multi-modality neuromonitoring, EEGs, brain tissue perfusion monitoring, intracranial pressure monitoring, cerebral oxygenation monitoring, biomarkers.
The article may be either original research or a review. There is no length restriction.
