Research abstract
In this Phase I SBIR Luna will team with UCSD to investigate whether the enhanced capabilities of Luna’s EN-TACT™ will result in improved correlation between an ultrasound-derived pressure factor (such as the normalized HDR or HDC) and catheter-based measurements of intracranial ICP. As part of this overall objective, we propose a series of modifications to EN-TACT™, leading to a two-phase head-tilt study on a volunteer subjects conducted at the UCSD Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Successful completion of the project will provide initial data needed for eventual clinical acceptable of EN-TACT™ as a diagnostic tool for traumatic brain injuries.
