Abstract Body: Introduction and Goal. In the measures of managing a patient who has suffered cardiac arrest, is also important to restore the brain (B) affected by anoxia, which is significantly facilitated by monitoring the state of the B. The approach developed by us can play a positive role in the monitoring of B condition.
Methods. Infrared (I) camera in the CATS62Pro phone was used to visualize the head (H) I rays. Photos and videos from 5 sides of H were taken. Some individuals also underwent CT, MRI of the H and EEG. Special image analysis method was developed and used.
Material. I videos of the H on 160 healthy people of both sexes of different ages (3 day – 86 year), patients with senile dementia, multiple sclerosis, under alcohol influence, coma were analyzed, some cases underwent to measurements.
Results. This method reveals the dominant hemisphere. The other pictures observed in videos can be distributed on three groups. I). A sudden flash of I rays is observed throughout the H. It happens 0-3 times within 60 seconds. The remaining manifestations of B activity are static (S) patterns (group II) and dynamic (D) patterns (group III). Of the S manifestations must be noted two areas on the lateral surfaces of the H. They correspond to the projections of the hippocampi with amygdales. The third and fourth S active areas are located on both sides of the nasofrontal angle. These areas can most likely correspond to the olfactory bulbs. The fifth S active area is located in the occipital part of the H along the central sagittal line. This area corresponds to the cerebellum, brainstem with the medulla oblongata. The sixth S active area is located on the parietal surface. Active areas on the cerebral cortex generally have a (D) pattern and they consist the third group. They appear on the cortex of the frontoparietal, temporal and occipital surfaces of the H and correspond to areas of the cortex of the indicated lobes. These areas are very variable. They appear and disappear, move quickly, merge, change size, localization, brightness.
Conclusion. Preliminary data received from patients in comatose state indicate more noticeable changes of B activity in the pattern of D areas in the frontotemporal and parietal lobes. There are: decreased brightness, decreased size and blurred contours of active fields, some weakening of the radiation intensity of S area. Quantitative analysis of video images provide objective comparable data on the functional state of the B and its dynamics.
