Cerebral Blood Flow Studies

Cerebral blood flow studies measure the amount of blood passing through the brain's vessels, helping doctors assess brain health and identify issues like strokes or blood vessel abnormalities. These tests often involve specialized imaging techniques, such as CT or MRI scans, sometimes with contrast agents, to visualize blood flow patterns. The results help determine if parts of the brain are receiving enough blood and oxygen, guiding diagnosis and treatment planning for neurological conditions. Essentially, these studies provide a detailed snapshot of how well blood is reaching all areas of the brain.
