| Abstract: | Severity and duration of cerebral blood flow (CBF) reduction are main determinants of injury in core and penumbra zones of focal brain ischemia. To study the putative role and predictive significance of the volume of these zones for induction of a malignant course due to edema formation in large hemispheric stroke, we examined reduction of CBF and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2) by sequential positron emission tomography (PET) in a transient ischemia model in cats that is susceptible to secondary deterioration after reperfusion. |
