TABLE 1:

Baseline values of PET variables and CBF response to acetazolamide in the cerebellar hemispheres contralateral and ipsilateral to the supratentorial infarction

VariableHemisphere
ContralateralIpsilateral
CBF (mL/100g/min)43.0 ±7.555.0 ±8.8
CMRO2 (mL/100g/min)3.29 ±0.48*4.01 ±0.34
OEF (%)45.4 ±5.5*43.3 ±5.0
CBV (mL/100g)3.20 ±0.60*3.72 ±0.56
CBF change (mL/100g/min)24.9 ±10.628.7 ±10.2
CBF change (%)60.6 ±23.654.4 ±22.6
  • Note.—Values are the mean ± SD. CBF signifies cerebral blood flow; CMRO2, cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen; OEF, oxygen extraction fraction; CBV, cerebral blood volume; CBF change, the change of CBF during acetazolamide administration.

  • * P < .005 versus corresponding value in the contralateral cortex (Wilcoxon signed-rank test).

  • P < .05.
