    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Medical Devices
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Cerebral blood flow (CBF) monitoring is crucial during carotid endarterectomies.
    • Current methods for CBF assessment can be time-consuming and complex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate an automated analyzer for intermittent CBF monitoring.
    • To assess the accuracy and reliability of the automated CBF analyzer compared to manual computations.

    Main Methods:

    • An automated CBF analyzer was developed for use with xenon-133.
    • The device analyzes a 1-minute intracarotid xenon-133 injection sample.
    • CBF values (0-200 ml/100 g/min) were compared between the automated analyzer and manual calculations.

    Main Results:

    • The automated CBF analyzer demonstrated effectiveness in monitoring.
    • Accuracy was confirmed through comparison with manual computation methods.
    • Reliability was established over 181 determinations during 51 surgical procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • The automated CBF analyzer is a viable tool for intermittent CBF monitoring.
    • The device offers an effective, accurate, and reliable method for assessing CBF during carotid endarterectomies.
