Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The means of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) values obtained by the stable xenon enhanced CT (Xe/CT) method using two different CT scanners were compared with global CBF value obtained by the Kety-Schmidt (N2O) method as a reference. Xe/CT CBF values were obtained using a GE CT9200 (31 patients, 2 flow maps, 120 kV, absorption constant of 0.040) as well as a GE ProSeed Accell (38 patients, 4 flow maps, 80 kV, absorption constant of 0.028). The protocol of inhalation in the Xe/XT method consisted of 4 min wash-in and 4-min wash-out of 35% stable xenon. In the Kety-Schmidt method, 15% N2O gas was inhaled for 10 min. The N2O content of blood samples was measured using a van Slyke-Neill blood gas analyzer. We corrected all obtained CBF values for a PaCO2 of 34 mmHG (CBF34). The global CBF34 values obtained by the Kety-Schmidt method were linearly correlated with the CBF34 values obtained using the CT9200 and with those obtained using the ProSeed Accell, and the regression line equations were, respectively, Y = 0.64X + 13.7 (X: CT9200, Y: Kety-Schmidt, r = 0.666, p < 0.01) and Y = 0.99X + 11.2 (X: ProSeed Accell, Y: Kety Schmidt, r = 0.756, p < 0.01). Since the CBF values obtained by the Xe/CT method using different CT scanners are not always the same as the global CBF values obtained by the Kety-Schmidt method, CBF values obtained by the Xe/CT method should be corrected referring to the regression line obtained by applying both methods for each patient.
