description

In a search for a reliable and relatively non-invasive method for quantifying cerebral perfusion, we examined the possible role of DSA. By using special software, it is possible to demonstrate vascular morphology and obtain functional data concerning blood flow. Regions of interest are used for obtaining time-density curves and these are evaluated by a formula designed by Meier and Zierler. Perfusion through the arterial territory in both cerebral hemispheres was correlated with the clinical symptoms of the patients and with the morphological findings. Difficulties and problems are described and discussed.
