Non-invasive methods are described for estimating local cerebral blood flows (LCBF) and local partition coefficients (L lambda) during inhalation of 30% stable xenon gas (Xe) in oxygen during CT scanning. After the denitrogenation with pure oxygen breathing, 30% Xe is inhaled for four minutes to minimize subanesthetic effects with a rubber face-mask and the delivery system of Xe. Local time-delta Hounsfield units curve during the Xe wash-in and wash-out phase is utilized in order to calculate L lambda and LCBF using a least squares curve fitting analysis. Calculated L lambda and LCBF with the new method manifested reasonable distribution between the grey and white matters, and reproducibility was excellent in our study. Several case studies of patients with cerebral infarction are presented to demonstrate the characterization of L lambda and LCBF patterns in various tissues and theoretical grounds underlying the new method of curve fitting analysis are discussed.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).
