This study is to observe the effect and the relationship
between the diffusion imaging (ADC mapping) and
neuroactivity (SSEP waveform) after blood brain barrier
opening by focus ultrasound with microbubbles. The
result showed that the lower exposure make both ADC
value and the SSEP waveform decrease but recovered in
two days. However, the higher exposure make them both
significant decrease and come back slower. We want to
reveal more details need to be considered in the future
neurophysiological, neuromodulation, or BBB issues.
