Background This study assesses the utility of a hybrid optical instrument for noninvasive
transcranial monitoring in the neurointensive care unit. The instrument is based on diffuse …

Normal reference values and a practical approach to CBF analysis are needed for routine
clinical analysis and interpretation of xenon-enhanced computed tomography (CT) CBF …

PURPOSE To examine the possibility that hyperventilation, commonly used to prevent or
treat increased intracranial pressure in patients with acute brain lesions, may induce …

Detection and quantification of brown adipose tissue (BAT) mass remains a major
challenge, as current tomographic imaging techniques are either nonspecific or lack the …

The stable xenon-enhanced computed tomography (Xe/CT) system (including Enhancer gas
delivery system, personal computer, color printer, and software) is marketed by Diversified …

Objective This study aimed to validate xenon‐enhanced computed tomography (XECT) for
the detection of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and to use XECT to assess differences in BAT …

Background and Purpose The advent of new modalities to treat acute ischemic stroke
presents the need for accurate, early diagnosis. In acute ischemic stroke, CT scans are …

PURPOSE We examined the xenon/CT method of measuring cerebral blood flow in
assessing the location, pattern of onset, and severity of delayed cerebral ischemia …

We would like to respond to the three articles in the Nov/Dec issue of AJNR (1-3) concerning
