Stochastic analysis of /sup 133/Xe clearance for determining regional cerebral blood flow in a primate model

Journal Article · · Stroke; (United States)
OSTI ID:7098113
A technique for stochastic analysis of /sup 133/Xe washout using a computer-assisted Anger camera is described. The technique produces functional maps of both regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and error in rCBF. The calculational limitations of the technique are discussed and an experimental estimate made of the physical limitations associated with the low energy photon emitted by /sup 133/Xe. The method is demonstrated in a Rhesus monkey model before and after surgical occlusion of the middle cerebral artery.
