Regional cerebral blood flow: normal values in healthy volunteers obtained by a 32 probes xenon 133 inhalation system.
Regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured in 15 healthy young volunteers in psycho-sensorial rest by the 32 probes Xe133 inhalation system. The mean hemispheric values are in good agreement with those reported in literature and obtained with a limited number of probes. The regional values of the flow in the gray matter are higher in the basal-temporal and frontal regions. This regional pattern is not evident for the other considered parameters (flow in the white matter, mean flow, "weight" of the gray matter).
