A rapid infra-red optical technique has been developed for the measurement of cerebral blood flow. The method measures optical density changes across the intact skull during the passage of a bolus of the dye. Cardio-Green (CG). The clearance curves obtained for CG boluses are very short (less than 30 sec) in comparison with those obtained with tracers such as /sup 133/Xenon (10-30 min) that distribute into cerebral tissue. The volume of distribution of CG is totally intravascular, and the dye is relatively slowly cleared from the body. The important advantages of this spectrophotometric technique are its speed, versatility, and the avoidance of radioactive materials. The differential spectrophotometer used in this study, with trivial modifications, has been used to monitor changes in brain blood volume, oxygen saturation of hemoglobin, and cortical mitochondrial respiratory function, which illustrate the versatility of the technique for neurological assessments.
