Cerebral blood flow measurement using intra-arterial bolus injection of 2H|2O monitored with magnetic resonance spectroscopy
This thesis reports the development of a MR-based, non-invasive cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurement method. The technique is a 3 step process: (1) Introduce a certain amount of tracer into the brain; (2) Monitor the kinetics of the tracer in the brain; (3) Fit a theoretical model to the monitored...
