Abstract

Neonatal brain hemorrhage (NBH) is the most common neurological disorder in neonates and its clinical interventions are very limited. Understanding the pathology of NBH by non-invasive in-vivo characterization of standardized animal models is essential for developing potential treatments. Currently, there is no suitable tool to provide non-invasive, non-ionizing dynamic imaging of neonatal mouse models with high resolution, high contrast, and deep imaging depth. In this study, we implemented a fast 3D photoacoustic tomography (PAT) system suitable for imaging neonatal mouse brains with good image quality and demonstrated its feasibility in non-invasive monitoring of the dynamic process of NBH in the whole neonatal mouse brain. The results present a high resolution and sensitivity for NBH detection. Both morphological and hemodynamic changes of the hematoma were accurately obtained. Our results demonstrated the potential of PAT as a powerful tool for the preclinical study of neonatal brain hemorrhage.
