Optical tomography has been used to reconstruct three-dimensional images of the entire neonatal head during motor evoked responses. Data were successfully acquired during passive movement of each arm on four out of six infants examined, from which eight sets of bilateral images of hemodynamic parameters were reconstructed. Six out of the eight images showed the largest change in total hemoglobin in the region of the contralateral motor cortex. The mean distance between the peak response in the image and the estimated position of the contralateral motor cortex was 10.8 mm. These results suggest that optical tomography may provide an appropriate technique for noninvasive cot-side imaging of brain function. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
