Abstract

Local cerebral blood flow and acute cerebral infarction during cerebrovascular disease. Many studies have proven that regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) changes in patients with occlusive cerebral artery disease, whether confirmed by angiography or negative by angiography, especially in the latter. Flow assays are more diagnostic. In acute cerebral infarction, cerebral blood flow is generally reduced, and cerebral oxygen consumption is also reduced. Not only the affected hemisphere but also the contralateral hemisphere has the same changes, which is called neurological dysfunction (Diaschisis). Measuring local cerebral blood flow can clearly identify Ischemic area and edge
