Intracranial Pressure

Misun Hwang, MD, is developing a noninvasive monitoring system to measure intracranial pressure using contrast-enhanced ultrasound.

Taking light-wave images of the retina through a process called optical coherence tomography (OCT) shows promise as a safe, noninvasive way to identify elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) in children with subacute conditions such as tumors, hydrocephalus, or head trauma.
