Mild hypothermia (HT(32°C-33°C)) is an effective neuroprotective strategy for a variety of acute brain injuries. However, the wide clinical adaptation of HT(32-33°C) has been hampered by the lack of a reliable noninvasive method for measuring brain temperature, since core measurements have been shown to not always reflect brain temperature. The goal of this work was to develop a noninvasive optical technique for measuring brain temperature that exploits both the temperature dependency of water absorption and the high concentration of water in brain (80%-90%).
