    Author: Kashiwagi S, Nagamitsu T, Yamashita T.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Scand Suppl; 1996; 166():51-3. PubMed ID: 8686442.
    Abstract:
    The historical background and current status of the inhalation protocols for the xenon CT CBF method are reviewed. A wash-in method has been established and widely accepted as a standard protocol. A wash-in/washout method is a useful alternative for a practical CBF study. The effect of flow activation with xenon gas can be minimized by shortening the inhalation time. Xe CT CBF method remains to be an indispensable technology for the clinical decision-making in various brain disorders.
