description Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for neurologic disease and its clinical effect is highly dependent on the DBS leads localization and current stimulating state. However, standard human brain imaging modalities could not provide direct feedback on DBS currents spatial distribution and dynamic changes. Acoustoelectric brain imaging (AEBI) is an emerging neuroimaging method that can directly map current density distribution. Here, we investigate in vivo AEBI of different DBS currents to explore the potential of DBS visualization using AEBI. According to the typical DBS stimulus parameters, four types of DBS currents, including time pattern, waveform, frequency, and amplitude are designed to implement AEBI experiments in living rat brains. Based on acoustoelectric (AE) signals, the AEBI images of each type DBS current are explored and the resolution is quantitatively analyzed for performance evaluation. Furtherly, the AE signals are decoded to characterize DBS currents from multiple perspectives, including time-frequency domain, spatial distribution, and amplitude comparation. The results show that in vivo transcranial AEBI can accurately locate the DBS contact position with a millimeter spatial resolution (< 2 mm) and millisecond temporal resolution (< 10 ms). Besides, the decoded AE signal at DBS contact position is capable of describing the corresponding DBS current characteristics and identifying current pattern changes. This study first validates that AEBI can localize in vivo DBS contact and characterize different DBS currents. AEBI is expected to develop into a noninvasive DBS real-time monitoring technology with high spatiotemporal resolution.
