Measurement of Cerebral Blood Flow Using 15O-Labeled Water and Positron Emission Tomography with Special Attention to the Volume of Distribution of Radiowater

  • Chapter
Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism Measurement

Abstract

The methods using inert and diffusible radiotracers for evaluation of cerebral blood flow all rest upon equations derived from the model initially designed by Kety and Schmidt (1948). The formulation of this one-compartmental, two-parameter model describes transfer function of the tracer in terms of local blood flow (Fi) and local effective volume of distribution (Vi).
