Abstract
A study was designed to examine the homogeneity of blood flow throughout the normal cerebral hemisphere. 10 subjects, in whom carotid angiography was indicated on clinical grounds, were investigated. In all cases there were no abnormal physical signs referable to the hemisphere studied, and the accompanying carotid angiogram was normal. 5–8 mC of 133Xenon was injected as a single slug into the upper cervical part of the internal carotid artery. The clearance of 133Xenon from the hemisphere was monitored by 16 regional detectors situated on the lateral aspect of the head. Each detector was made as regional as possible by collimation and lower limit discrimination at 77 KeV.
