Measurement of Cerebral Blood Flow with Special Reference to the Use of Radioisotopes

  • Chapter
Interdisciplinary Investigation of the Brain

Abstract

It is not possible in this communication to cover all methods of cerebral blood flow measurement in detail. Since radioisotope methods are more widely used than any others, these will be outlined more fully, while some of the other methods will be described briefly together with their advantages and disadvantages.
