Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether reflections of light can be used to provide real-time pictures of blood vessel formation around infants' heads. This study device is called laser speckle imaging.

Detailed description

The researchers can use the laser speckle imaging device to image superficial cerebral blood flow in the infant's head. The researchers can quantify blood flow and measured vessel diameter, versus actual diameter assessed with conventional digital camera imaging.
