Measurement of spinal cord blood flow by the microsphere technique

Differential spinal cord blood flow was measured in dogs by the radioactive microsphere injection method. The mean spinal cord blood flow was 10.8 +/- 0.53 (SE) ml/100 g/minute. The flow values for the white and gray matter were 7.1 +/- 0.65 (SE) and 26.3 +/- 2.2 (SE) ml/100 g/minute, respectively.
