Description

A portable system for the measurement of cerebral blood flow in critical care environments such as the intensive care unit or operating room has been developed and tested in a limited series of patients. The flow measurements are based on the /sup 133/Xe inhalation or IV injection method. The system uses miniature solid state detectors, microprocessor technology and Fourier transform based data analysis to provide compactness and rapid on-line analysis of data. Preliminary patient studies comparing this system with a larger sodium iodide detector system show comparable results. 14 refs
