Two minute slope inhalation technique for cerebral blood flow measurement in man. 1. Method.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The two minute slope method of measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) by inhalation of 133Xe is described. It requires the subject to remain still for only two minutes and is thus applicable to a wide variety of patients and to investigations involving brief physiological stimuli. The influence of extracerebral blood flow on CBF calculated by this method has been studied. Results from the two minute slope inhalation method using two minutes of data correlate well with those obtained by carotid injection using either two minutes or 10 minutes of data.

Two minute slope inhalation technique for cerebral blood flow measurement in man. 2. Clinical appraisal.
The two minute slope technique for measuring CBF was devised primarily to study the response of the cerebral circulation to physiological stimuli. In this paper, measurements of the precision of the technique when applied to various groups of people are described, and measurements on normal subjects of the global and regional CBF changes in response to hyperventilation and hypercapnia are prese...
متن کاملImproved Method for Noninvasive Measurement of Regional Cerebral Blood Flow
A clinical method for noninvasive measurement of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and blood volume (rCBV) is described, based on Obrist's 10 minute, desaturation method after 1 minute inhalation of Xe. Sixteen collimated probes are placed over both hemispheres and brain stem-cerebellar regions. End-tidal Xe curves are used for correction of recirculation. KEV discriminators are set to record...

متن کاملRegional cerebral blood flow utilizing the gamma camera and xenon inhalation: reproducibility and clinical applications.
A modified collimator and standard gamma camera have been used to measure regional cerebral blood flow following inhalation of radioactive xenon. The collimator and a simplified analysis technique enables excellent statistical accuracy to be achieved with acceptable precision in the measurement of grey matter blood flow. The validity of the analysis was supported by computer modelling and patie...
متن کاملNoninvasive method of estimating human newborn regional cerebral blood flow.
A noninvasive method of estimating regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in premature and full-term babies has been developed. Based on a modification of the xenon-133 inhalation rCBF technique, this method uses eight extracranial NaI scintillation detectors and an i.v. bolus injection of xenon-133 (approximately 0.5 mCi/kg). Arterial xenon concentration was estimated with an external chest detec...
