Abstract
Patients diagnosed as having symptomatic carotid occlusion, who are at increased risk for stroke, can be readily identified by methods designed to measure cerebrovascular reserves. This paper reviews the use of xenon-enhanced computed tomography (Xe/CT) cerebral blood flow (CBF) methods for quantitatively assessing cerebrovascular reserves.
