Abstract:
Perfusion could provide useful information on metabolic and functional status of tissue and organs. This review summarizes the most commonly used perfusion measurement methods: dynamic susceptibility weighted contrast (DSC) and arterial spin labeling (ASL) and their applications in experimental stroke. Some new developments of CBF techniques in animal models are also discussed.
