Resumo

Cerebral blood flow measurement has not yet been attempted with xenon and CT in patients. Xenon washout was studied in three patients receiving subanesthetic concentrations of xenon. Cerebral enhancement after 30%--50% inhaled xenon was demonstrated without serious side effects. Clinical cerebral blood flow measurements with xenon and CT may be feasible.
