Abstract
While most of the methods for quantitative regional cerebral blood flo w (rCBF) determination in man requires expensive fast devices, a metho d is proposed using single photon emission computed tomography with a conventional rotating gamma camera and Xe-133 inhalation. It is tested using a computer simulation of a cerebral exam and a simplified CBF m ap as a model. The results obtained show that this method is relevant and can be tested in clinical studies.
