Non-invasive intra-cranial pressure measurement [ 2014 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof William Morgan (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Dao-Yi Yu

Brief description This proposal seeks to develop a novel non-invasive method of measuring intra-cranial pressure, an important diagnostic parameter in many form of brain injury or neural disease. It works by quantitative video analysis of the pulsation of the major vein in the eye during induced rises in eye pressure. Many years of study by our group have determined the relationship between vein pulsation pressure and intra-cranial pressure, and this information is used to produce an accurate measurement of intra-cranial pressure without the need for surgery.
