Hydrocephalus | CHOP Research Institute

Dr. Chen's research focuses on traumatic brain injury (TBI), multimodal neuromonitoring, and neurovascular disorders. She is interested in non-invasive forms of neuromonitoring thus leading to research efforts identifying reliable non-invasive methods for detecting intracranial hypertension in multiple disease processes including TBI and craniosynostosis.

Noninvasive Monitoring of Intracranial Pressure

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

Wolfson Family Laboratory for Clinical and Biomedical Optics

The Wolfson Family Laboratory for Clinical and Biomedical Optics focuses on the development and use of novel non-invasive optical devices to probe cerebrovascular hemodynamics and physiology in vivo. These devices are used in clinical and pre-clinical studies to discover the timing and causes of brain injury during care.
