چکیده
Noninvasive measurement of human spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) has not yet been established. The authors successfully measured human SCBF by using xenon and a CT scanner (Shuttle method). This method was clinically applied in 10 patients without spinal cord pathology . Mean SCBF of the normal adult at the C5 level was 42.3 ± 6.3 l/ 100 g/min. CO2 reactivity in SCBF was also detected . This method may well be used in the clinical study of human SCBF.

The in vivo autoradiographic measurement of regional cerebral blood flow using stable xenon and computerized tomography: the effect of tissue heterogeneity and computerized tomography noise.
We have studied the effect of brain tissue (gray matter-white matter) heterogeneity and computerized tomography (CT) noise on the accuracy of xenon CT measurements of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) based upon "autoradiographic" and multiple-scan washin protocols. The results of our mathematical analysis indicate that both protocols are associated with a variety of measurement errors that l...
متن کاملCerebral blood flow imaging . Relation to blood rheology
A number of techniques allow imaging of the cerebral blood flow (CBF). Flow-sensitive time-of –flight (TOF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrates good representation of the flow but the extracranial hemodynamics could be assessed by color duplex ultrasound of the carotid arteries. Computerized tomography (CT), Xenon enhanced or CT perfusion with iodinated contrast, singlephoton emission...
متن کاملExperimental Visualization of Labyrinthine Structure with Optical Coherence Tomography
Introduction:Visualization of inner ear structures is a valuable strategy for researchers and clinicians working on hearing pathologies. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technology which may be used for the visualization of tissues. In this experimental study we aimed to evaluate inner ear anatomy in well-prepared human labyrinthine bones.Materials and Methods:Thr...
متن کاملFunctional imaging of cerebral blood volume using simultaneous measurements of dynamic and xenon computerized tomography (CT).
This report describes a method for measuring regional cerebral blood volume (r-CBV), by simultaneously using dynamic computerized tomography (DCT) and stable Xenon-enhanced CT (Xe CT). Local cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured using a Xe CT blood sampling method, and mean transit time (MTT) was calculated using DCT after a rapid injection of iodinated contrast material. A functional image of...
متن کاملThe Accuracy of Cone-beam Computerized Tomography Linear Measurements in Human Dry Mandible
Background & Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Cone-beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) linear measurements in dry mandibles by comparing them with direct measurements. Methods: Two human dry mandibles were used in this study. Thirteen sites were selected on each mandible. Specimens were scanned by CBCT and linear measurements were made using Planmeca Romexis 2.3.0.R s...
