Xenon-CT cerebral blood flow determinations in 20 children and young adults (age less than 40) who presented with cerebral ischemia were retrospectively reviewed for evidence of unifocal or multifocal ischemic disease. These results were compared with the findings of conventional CT and magnetic resonance (MR) examinations in the same patients. Xenon-CT revealed additional lesions or added significant pathophysiological information in 80% of patients scanned by noncontrast CT, 89% scanned by postcontrast CT, and 58% scanned by MR. Xenon-CT is a useful adjunct to MR and conventional CT in the evaluation of cerebral ischemia in children and young adults.
对20例表现为脑缺血的儿童及青年（年龄小于40岁）患者进行回顾性研究，以确定氙CT脑血流测定中有无单灶或多灶性缺血性疾病的证据。将这些结果与同一批患者的传统CT和磁共振（MR）检查结果进行比较。在未增强CT扫描的患者中，80%、增强CT扫描的患者中89%以及MR扫描的患者中58%，氙CT发现了额外的病变或补充了重要的病理生理信息。在评估儿童和青年脑缺血方面，氙CT是MR和传统CT的有用辅助手段。
