Xenon-enhanced CT scanning
Purposedetermine changes in cerebral blood flow

Xenon-enhanced CT scanning is a method of computed tomography (CT scanning) used for neuroimaging in which the subject inhales xenon gas while CT images are made.[1] The method can be used to assess changes in cerebral blood flow in the period shortly after a traumatic brain injury,[1] or to detect or indicate the location of a stroke.[2] The diffusion of the gas into the tissues shows how much blood flow each area is getting.[1]
