Key <strong>Perfusion</strong> Parameters<br />
• Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF)<br />
– Delivery <strong>of</strong> blood to tissue / unit time<br />
– Units: ml / 100g brain / min<br />
• Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV)<br />
– Measure <strong>of</strong> autoregulation<br />
– Units: ml / 100 g brain<br />
• Mean Transit Time (MTT)<br />
– Average time to flow thru<br />
capillaries (artery → vein)<br />
– Units: seconds<br />
CBF = CBV<br />

Ischemia: Hemodynamics & <strong>Perfusion</strong><br />
• ↑ Collateral flow → ↑ MTT<br />
• Vasodilatation → ↑ CBV (until CPP ↓)<br />
• End result: ↓ CBF<br />
