Performance assessment of time-domain optical brain imagers, part 2: nEUROPt protocol.

abstract：:Optical measurements of metabolism are ideally acquired in vivo; however, intravital measurements are often impractical. Accurate ex vivo assessments would greatly broaden the applicability of optical measurements of metabolism. We investigate the use of live tissue culture experiments to serve as a surrogate for in v...
