Outline of Final Research Achievements

Non-invasive estimation for cerebral blood flow and metabolism using by high field MR imaging was newly developed. Only invasive methods have been sullied for cerebral blood flow and metabolism analysis. We accepted the flow-sensitive attenuated inversion recovery method for estimation to measure cerebral blood flow in patients with stroke. MR spectroscopy was applied for clinical examination to measure brain temperature of patients with stroke. We clarified the utility and limitation for clinical usage of MRI to investigate cerebral blood flow and metabolism.
