Abstract
The regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), initial slope index (ISI), transfer time (.hivin.th) and volume (rCBV) were measured simultaneously in 43 hospital patients using a 133Xe i.v. injection method and quantitative dynamic 99mTc brain scintigraphy. The measurements were made with a gamma camera, and the data processing interfaced with a small digital computer.Keywords
