Cerebral hemodynamics and metabolism in three patients with severe diffuse brain
injurywere measured 10 days after onset using PET. In this study, regional cerebral blood …

Cerebral blood flow and metabolism were investigated in five patients with severe diffuse
brain injury in the chronic stage, using positron emission tomography (PET). Regional …

Introduction Conclusive evidence of cerebral ischemia following head injury has been
elusive. We aimed to use 15 O and 18 Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography …

PET studies were performed in 37 patients up to 1 month after ischaemic stroke to observe
the relationships between cerebral blood flow (CBF), rate of cerebral oxygen metabolism …

By now, it is well established that PET or SPECT cannot distinguish between functional
abnormalities as a conse quence of structural damage and those without such findings (18 …

The pathophysiological changes in the pericontusional region after traumatic brain injury
(TBI) have classically been considered to be ischemic. Using [F-18] fluorodeoxyglucose …

Background Cerebral ischemia is believed to be an important mechanism of secondary
neuronal injury in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods In this study, we performed 15 O 2 …

Positron emission tomography is currently one of the most useful methods for measurements
of cerebral hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism, because it facilitates accurate analysis …

Microdialysis continuously monitors the chemistry of a small focal volume of the cerebral
extracellular space. Conversely, positron emission tomography (PET) establishes …

A 28-yr-old woman who sustained a mild traumatic brain injury had an 18F-
fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET brain study using coinci dence imaging performed on a dual …
