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 />

Principle<br />

Ischemia: Hemodynamics & <strong>Perfusion</strong><br />

• ↑ Collateral flow → ↑ MTT<br />

• Vasodilatation → ↑ CBV (until CPP ↓)<br />

• End result: ↓ CBF<br />
