In vivo measurement of cerebral blood flow: a review of methods and applications.
This article reviews the concepts of cerebral blood flow for the clinician involved in the management of patients with carotid stenosis and/or ischaemic stroke. Methods of assessing cerebral blood flow in vivo using nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance and X-ray computed tomography are described. Applications of magnetic resonance and X-ray computed tomographic methods are reviewed and illustrated by examples from the authors' radiological practice.
