Quantitative Cerebral Blood Flow Measurements Using Stable Xenon/CT: Clinical Applications

The Stable Xenon/Computed Tomography Cerebral Blood Flow Method: Its Uses In Clinical Decision Making is an important contribution to the field of clinical medicine. It provides the first comprehensive review of this potentially widely available and clinically useful cerebral blood flow (CBF) methodology. Xenon/CT provides rapidly accessible CBF information that has proven to be uniquely useful for the management of a broad range of clinical disorders, including acute stroke, chronic occlusive vascular disorders, subarachnoid hemorrhage, head trauma, arteriovenous malformations, aging, dementia. This unique text presents an overview of how xenon/CT information is now being clinically utilized in over 250 sites around the world to guide clinical decision making.
