  • Title: Errors in cerebral blood flow determinations by xenon-enhanced computed tomography due to estimation of arterial xenon concentrations.
    Author: Good WF, Gur D, Yonas H, Herron JM.
    Journal: Med Phys; 1987; 14(3):377-81. PubMed ID: 3496520.
    Abstract:
    Errors in the determination of xenon concentrations in arterial blood during inhalation of xenon-oxygen mixtures are used to assess errors in the derivation of regional cerebral blood flow by the xenon-enhanced computed tomography (CT) method. The results of this study indicate that approximating the arterial buildup by a single exponential introduces relatively small errors in estimated flow values. The most significant systematic error is introduced by errors in estimation of the xenon arrival time to the brain in relationship to sequential (CT) scanning times.
