Xenon-133 inhalation method for regional cerebral blood flow measurements: normal values and test-retest results

LC McHenry Jr, J Merory, E Bass, DA Stump, R Williams, R Witcofski, G Howard and JF Toole

The purpose of this investigation is to determine the normal values for regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) as determined by the xenon inhalation method of Obrist. Normal values for all rCBF parameters were measured in 15 healthy individuals. Our data are compared with the normal data obtained by other investigators. In addition, test-retest rCBF measurements were performed to determine the reproducibility of the method. Our results show that the method is highly reproducible when carried out in serial studies over a short period of time.
