Abstract

Simultaneous measurements of cerebral blood flow have been performed in baboons to assess the correlation between the acute and invasive nondiffusible microsphere technique and the noninvasive xenon-enhanced CT method. Blood flows in small tissue volumes (~1 cm3) were directly compared. The results of these studies demonstrate a statistically significant association between the two methods (P
