The arrow indicates the site of the optodes for the NIRS procedure on an MRI T2 weighted image (a, top). The circular regions of interest were placed manually at the site presumed to be measured by NIRS, and rCBF and rOEF were measured on the result of a 15O-labeled gas PET study (a, bottom). A representative ICG time-intensity curve showing the parameters used to estimate the regional cerebral perfusion. We set the zero point as the time to rise to +4 standard deviation of the average ICG concentration in the period 0–10 seconds after intravenous injection, and calculated ΔICGmax (the maximum ICG concentration), TTP (time to peak: the time between 0 and 100% of the maximum ICG concentration), RT (rise time: the time between 10 and 90% of the maximum ICG concentration), and BFI(blood flow index: ΔICGmax / RT). Each measured parameter was normalized using the affected-to-unaffected side ratio (b).
