We have developed a new method for taking continuous measurements of rCBF
by means of continuous infusion of 81mKr. Using this method, it is possible
to follow the sequential changes in blood flow of various brain regions
continuously. The method makes it possible to observe the sequential
changes in CBF following drug administration, motor activation and various
kinds of stimulation, and, furthermore, to observe the CO2 reactivity and
autoregulation of cerebral vessels. It will undoubtedly prove useful in the
investigation of various pathological states.
