CBF: cerebral blood flow; CVR: cerebral vasoreactivity; TCD: Transcranial Doppler. TBI: Traumatic brain injury.

Learning Objectives:

• After this session, the audience will learn the physiology of cerebral hemodynamic and cerebral blood flow regulation
• After this session, the audience will learn the cutting-edge non-invasive techniques to measure cerebral hemodynamics and cerebral blood flow
• After this session, the audience will learn the implication of cerebral hemodynamic and blood flow measurements in TBI and future challenge
