A technique for stochastic analysis of 133Xe 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 133Xe. The method is demonstrated in a rhesus
monkey model before and after surgical occlusion of the middle cerebral
artery.
