Object. The goal of this study was to evaluate regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF)
monitoring, performed using thermal-diffusion (TD) flowmetry, as a novel means for the …

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was introduced in the 1960s to
detect breakdowns in the blood-brain barrier and was replaced by x-ray computed …

Object. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that balloon angioplasty is
superior to papaverine infusion for the treatment of proximal anterior circulation arterial …

Background and Purpose—Vasospasm secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is
responsible for severe ischemic complications. Although effective, angioplasty must be …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to correlate absolute cerebral blood flow (CBF) and
mean transient time (MTT) measured by dynamic perfusion computed tomographic (PCT) …

Abstract Introduction: Transcranial Dopplers (TCDs) have been used to monitor cerebral
blood flow velocities in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The purpose of our two-part study …

OBJECTIVE: Cerebral vasospasm (VSP) is one of the most important risk factors for the
development of a delayed neurological deficit after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) …

OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative mild hypothermia has been used during cerebral aneurysm
surgery to reduce ischemic injury induced by temporary vessel occlusion and brain …

Our purpose was to assess the usefulness of diffusion-and perfusion-weighted MRI for the
detection of ischaemic brain damage in patients with suspected vasospasm after …

An agent for visualizing cells by positron emission tomography is described and used to
label red blood cells. The labeled red blood cells are injected systemically so that …
