Analysis of reproducibility and sensitivity of atraumatic measurements of regional cerebral blood flow in cerebrovascular diseases.
We tested the reproducibility of consecutive measurements of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) made in 13 areas of each hemisphere in patients with cerebrovascular diseases by the atraumatic 133Xe intravenous injection method. The data were analysed by a two-compartment model similar to that used in the Obrist inhalation method. Four parameters derived from the model were tested: Fg (flow of ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Chimney Flue Gas Flows Flow Rate Measurements with Averaging Pitot Probes
Performance testing methods of boilers in transient operating conditions (start, stop and combustion power modulation sequences) need the combustion rate quantified to allow for the emissions to be quantified. One way of quantifying the combustion rate of a boiler during transient operating conditions is by measuring the flue gas flow rate. The flow conditions in chimneys of single family house...
متن کاملPancreatic Blood Flow Measurements
In experimental obstructive chronic pancreatitis the normal hyperaemic response to secretory stimulation is lost, suggesting abnormal vascular regulation. Vascular regulatory mechanisms were investigated by observing the effect of increments in portal pressure on pancreatic blood flow in normal cats and cats with chronic pancreatitis. Normal cats maintained pancreatic blood flow until portal pr...
متن کاملA fast time-domain algorithm for the assessment of tissue blood flow in LDF
In this study, we derive a fast, novel time-domain algorithm to compute the nth-order moment of the power spectral density of the photoelectric current as measured in laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF). It is well established that in the LDF literature these moments are closely related to fundamental physiological parameters, i.e. concentration of moving erythrocytes and blood flow. In particular, w...
متن کاملLocal tissue water changes assessed by tissue dielectric constant: single measurements versus averaging of multiple measurements.
Previous reports describe the use of average tissue dielectric constant (TDC) measurements to assess local tissue water and its change. Our goal was to determine if a single TDC measurement could be used in place of the average of multiple measurements. The comparison criteria used to test this was the extent to which single and averaged measurements yielded similar TDC values in both normal an...
