Cerebral Blood Flow Perfusion
Status | Exists in IEEE |
Category | Brain Perfusion |
Common Name | Cerebral Blood Flow Perfusion |
Label | CBF |
Description | Cerebral blood flow to the brain; blood supply to the brain in a given period of time. |
Background | Cerebral perfusion is a high flow, low pressure system with relatively preserved diastolic flow. This can be appreciated by comparing Doppler waveforms from cerebral vessels with systemic vessels; the ratio of diastolic to systolic flow is much higher for the cerebral circulation. |
Devices | Bowman Perfusion Monitor |
