Dynamic contrast perfusion to assess blood brain barrier permeability and regional cerebral blood flow using either MRI or CT
PET/CT imaging with additional coregistration to MRI images if required to quantify glucose uptake
Imaging of brain tissues using standard PET radiopharmaceuticals eg F-18 DOPA
Imaging of brain tissues with custom developed radiopharmaceuticals linked to specific naturally occurring brain chemicals or novel compounds
Dynamic perfusion CT images of a dog brain with cerebral blood flow (CBF) maps demonstrating an increase in CBF when end tidal CO2 is increased from 35mmHg (A) to 68mm Hg(B).
