A regional cerebral blood flow study, also referred to as a brain blood flow test or cerebral perfusion scan, is a diagnostic imaging procedure that measures blood flow in different parts of the brain.
We aimed to summarize the available evidence on cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes in normal aging and common cognitive disorders.
The stable xenon CT method of measuring cerebral blood flow has been investigated in research studies for over 10 years.
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is regulated by vasomotor, chemical, metabolic, and neurogenic mechanisms.Cerebral blood flow during vagus nerve stimulationa transcranial Doppler study. Neuropsychobiology.2005; 51 : 265-268.
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is reduced in NPH patients, with significant variability across studies. Pre-treatment CBF values <25 ml/100 g/min correlate with poor surgical outcomes post-shunting in NPH.

This is first of all indirect significance. Since the introduction ofcerebral blood flow studies we have learned much about the basic facts of normal and pathological regulation of cerebral blood flow and today...
We studied cerebral blood flow (CBF), oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), transit time (TT) and hemodynamic reserve capacity using acetazolamide (ACZ) in both the pre- and postoperative states, and. evaluated the effect of surgery on the cerebral hemodynamics.
